Altough every other Clairin rhum is a treat when sipping but this I find better for mixing... Anyway I won't pour it down the drain if I don't have a ginger beer or cola with me.

My very first impression was a strong vanilla yoghurt note on the nose along with sugarcane juice and sweet corn. The taste follows on the same line but not so much the yoghurt anymore. The finish is long with white pepper notes and a strong but enjoyable afterburn. What a great drink.

Blend di quattro Clairin differenti. Decisamente maestoso

Similar delicious profile compared to it's single distillery brothers. Just bit more sweeter, somehow flatter ( - 1 point), but still rich aroma and taste. Absolutely smooth, oily on palate. Warm long aftertaste.

Minus second point due to lack of fine art box )

Smells delicious, sweetness and ripe bananas. On the palate it is a little harsh, although the elements of mild sweetness come through. Made a Marlin cocktail (from Beachbum Berry's book, Intoxica) with it and Clement XO, which was delicious.

If you want to make an epic Daiquiri use this stuff. Nough said. Gonna try it for other cocktails later. Bit expensive for the mix (in my country) but sometimes you gotta impress the lady, and thoroughly enjoy one yourself.

Tento rum není pro každého, dokonce i ti co mají rádi "Funky" s ním můžou mít problém.
Vůně: výpalky ze slivovice, kresol, shnilá tráva, ovoce (hrušky?).
Chuť: podivná slivovice řízlá shnilým ovocem, spálený karamel (ale bez hořkosti), prostě děs!
Mně to ale pobavilo, musel jsem se smát!!!
7,5/10

The Clairin Communal is a rhum from Haiti 🇭🇹 and is a blend of clairins from four different producers, namely: Sajous, Vaval, Casimir and Le Rocher. It's bottled at 43%ABV and is geared a bit more for mixing (say a classic daiquiri), but here I'm going to try it straight.

On the nose there is cane, lime, plantain, ginger, slight tomato-paste, mild olive brine, and flowers.

The palate is cream and cane syrup, and the finish is pepper, mint, cream, and ginger.

If I had to compare this to another Clairin, I think it's closest to a toned-down version of the Sajous. It's highly sessionable, easy to drink, and perhaps a good intro to clairin. I think it's a nice rhum on its own, and I can report it also works well in a daiquiri.

Dry, grassy, almost savoury. You could drink it neat although I wouldn't choose to.
Instead, make unusual and amazing mojitos.
Having now also tried Sajous, I can taste that in here, but whereas in there, it overwhelms with it's intensity, here it's all well balanced.
If you want to shake up your cocktails, try this for size!

I've been meaning to try this maker of rum for a long time since I've heard good things about them. So, I was pleasantly surprised when this came up in my Advent calendar.

On the nose it has the normal "grassy" notes that you would expect with an agricole but you also gets hints of fruit and nuts. The first taste is smooth and not overpowering like other agricoles can be and you get nice taste of citrus.

I think this one is made more for mixing than being a sipper and I will definitely use it for some mixed drinks in the future as well as trying some other offerings from this maker.
