Clairin Sajous

Very sip-able. A slightly different funk than the high ester Jamaican pot stills but nice finish with high ABV

I like it as a change of pace. A little more viscous than other Clairin I’ve tried. Taste green olives. Enjoyed it.

White, strong, Sugar cane perfume at the nose, you have to try It at least Once in your Lifetime!

Chuť: Třtinová, lehce ovocná, štiplavá.
Dozvuk: Zkvašené ovoce rychle přechází do svěží travnatosti s bylinkami. Dlouze doznívající zkvašené ovoce.

Al naso è enorme con fermentati, esteri, frutta (ananas, melone cantalupo, mango surmaturo, fragola) e qualche agrume (pompelmo), salamoia, alghe dolci, olive e vegetali, inizialmente anche colla/solvente, ma poi svanisce.
Al palato è pungente e cremoso, in primo piano restano i fermentati seguiti dagli esteri, la frutta sentita al naso, formaggio, umami, vegetale, sapidità/salamoia, cioccolato bianco, pepe e una nota lontana di affumicatura. Nel complesso è secco e nonostante tutti questi aromi mantiene una rotondità disarmante e un abv ottimo, ma che avrei preferito più alto. Ricorda in un certo senso il Rivier Antoine. Nel bicchiere vuoto fermentati.

Not being fans of agricole we were concerned this was low on the scales before we tried but actually pleasantly surprised. Rated 7/10 for an agricole - so high praise, but not the equivalent of a 7/10 for a dark or aged rum. Grassy and vegetal on the nose and neat remains vegetal in the tasting but add some water to it and it opens up nicely with spicy tones. Perhaps a little salty and oily on the medium finish. About £50 retail when it came out, not our normal rum but enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10

Smell - agricole, grassy, lemon, vegetal perhaps slightly yeasty tang
Taste - massively vegetal on the palate with spicy tones
After Taste - spicy and salty with an oily coat

2020 Harvest at 55.2%. This is a serious spirit from Haiti. Super sugarcane forward. Lots of grass, green tea, lemon and other citrus. Great proof at 110 too. Excellent mouth feel and long finish. Very complex.

Highly recommended and I will certainly rebuy, as well as try other Clairins. There are several to choose from in the NY market.

Můj nejoblíbenější bílý clairin, úžasná záležitost. Velká koncetrace aromatických složek od, herbálnosti, ovocnosti, lepidla, za mě nádhera. V chuti to samé, ale vystupuje sladkost a herbálnost. Tohle je skvělé.

Vůně: jemná, kresol, sůl, nahnilý ovocný mix, koření, příjemná , kaučuk
Chuť: Kandované ovoce, lehce štiplavá
Dochuť: Lehounce nahořklá, ovocná, technika, kůže, guma
Skvělý, jemný
8,7/10

Einmalige Mischung aus Hampden-Funk & Agricol Rum.
Trotz der Stärke gut zu trinken, aber wahrscheinlich nichts für Anfänger.

Unique combination of Hampden-Funk & Agricole Rum.
Good to drink despite the strength, but probably not for beginners.
