yes, for a rhum very salty :).
9/10 for this fresh powerhouse!

la prima impressione è di frutta matura dopo viene fuori la parte salata molto gradevole
il finale èabbastanza persistente
un agricolo molto particolare ottimo

Alkoholen træder for meget igennem. Mindre smag end Casimir. Sample.

Un rhum original frais et fruité.
Belle longueur.
Peut être consommé légèrement rafraîchi pour exacerber les arômes

Une merveille de rhum blanc, au nez de la canne fraîche, citronné, acidulé, en bouche une douceur incroyable et une superbe longueur sur la cannes, le citron... magnifique

First tried the 2015 version of this at the Manchester Rum Festival in 2017 and for me this was the best rum/rhum at the event.
Never tried a Clairin before, so was amased by the amount of flavour in this rhum.
Ordered a bottle of the 2013 once I got home and its very similar (to me). If this is the general quality of Clairins, I'll be buying loads of this stuff.

51% ABV. My first clairin—and my first Velier!

Big, round nose. Funky creamed corn. Wet rags in a field. Vinegar. Explodes onto the palate. Tastes a bit better than it smells. Smooth and dryish, but big and briny. Somewhat astringent. Quite tasty, actually.

Not for everyone, but if you love big-flavored rums, seek this one out! Hopefully I'll get to try some other clairins someday.

8+

Strong and warm white rum. Great afterraste, citruse tones.

Le nez est très surprenant, c’est une bouffée de fraicheur mais épicée (poivre, gingembre), citronnée et iodée. Très intéressant…
Les saveurs en bouche sont plus discrètes qu’au nez même si on y retrouve les épices et agrumes ainsi qu’une légère touche terreuse ce qui donne un curieux mélange acidité/amertume.
La finale conserve une toute petite amertume, liée à de la canne à sucre et du citron. C’est bon.

During a Rumtasting at Nuremberg Village, I could taste this exciting Rum at his natural spirit. Very surprising and dirty...
