Outside we have about 40 degrees, so the fruity short-aged Clairins with low abv come just right. Rocher: funky fruity, smoky, similar to incense sticks. A bit grassy. 80 points. Vaval: milder and sweeter, with a bit of menthol. Short, somewhat sharp finish. 76 points. Casimir: mild fruity, sweetish, short finish. 75 points.

This finish in Jack Daniels is not even mine! Somehow it tastes artificial and not coherent for me

8.3/10

Comparative series of Clairins ansyens. Here too almost pure whisky on the nose with smokiness but also sweetness. On the palate, woody tannins. Less complex than Le Rocher 21 months (47.7%). The finish is nice but also very whisky-typical. This rum could even pass for a whisky. We all prefer ex-rum finishes to ex-whisky finishes. Retasted and the impression is the same. Thanks Dr. Django for the samples.
