Lovely lovely stuff, with rubber, wild flowers, olives, seaspray, earth, canejuice and many more flavours. Intensely complex and full of character.
Poured the rum into the glass, you are hit by a strong smell of solvent while in the mouth there is a taste of something indescribable, similar to a bad medicine, very nauseating.
I tried leaving the rum in the glass for about ten minutes but the result doesn't change.
I tried mixing it with gingerbeer and orange peel but it remains a nauseating finish.
I just can't understand this rum ... I'm disappointed.

VINTAGE:2015
COUNTRY:Haiti
TYPE:Sugar Cane Juice
COLOURING:No
NO ADDED SUGAR OR FLAVOURINGS:Yes
Nose: burnt tyres, leather, diesel oil, dirt, old papers
Palate: lemons, honey, mint, brine

...If it is just me not liking this style of rum, or this rum. I mean, this thing has some depth to it, but a bit too much. The nose is alarming, and every sip tastes different, which can be tiring. If you want an easy and mellow sipper, this is not for you. If you want to live life to the fullest, try it.

This review is for the 2018 harvest release of Clairin Sajous (an unaged, agricole-style rhum) from Haiti 🇭🇹 clocking in at a punchy 56.4%ABV. Clairin is known for its locally harvested sugarcane used in production, wild fermentation, and custom-made stills all which produce very unique and flavorful rhum. Clairin Sajous cane shortly after harvesting is pressed and the juice boiled into syrup to increase the shelf life and allow for later distillation throughout the year. This rhum is made by distiller Michael Sajous at Chelo distillery, North of Port-au-Prince.
On the nose there is lime, flowers, pepper, salt, kiwi, brine, cane juice, tomato, sourness and celery.
The palate is cream, cane, honey, and Italian seasoning.
The finish is cane juice, mint, clove, and pepper.
This is just a fantastic unaged rhum in its own right sipped neat, but also makes for a fantastic and flavorful daiquiri.

A rhum of one's own

This is a stunning product. The wild yeast fermentation provides such a rich pallette of flavours and aromas that it is guaranteed to provoke some, but I find they are all balanced — if such a word is proper for a rhum this overly funky and rich. Unaged, untamed but still balanced, I find, classic cane juice nose initially but a bit of breathing will add perfumed rubber, cottonsedge and anise-citrusy spices (those who dislike it will rather say it smells of a randy ram on a rainy day and burnt tyres).
You might want to add a few drops of water if you are not used to cask strength, and you will be surprised how it is turned into a spiced, fruity rhum experience with its own idiosyncratic style reminiscent of eccentric rhums agricoles, Jamaican funk and outer space juice. You might also want to follow Zaphod Beeblebrox’ advise and "never drink more than two (...) unless you are a thirty ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia”.
