This is my first clairin. I was attracted by the price point and the fact that it’s a blend of 4 spirits from different regions of Haiti. This is good because you get a rounded spirit, however you do lose the complexity of the 4 individual spirits as they are unique and shine differently on their own. The nose was really sweet, lots of overly ripe tropical fruits. The palate was very much the same. Over ripe fruits, bananas, sugar, and a vanilla cake batter in front of a tiny amount of brine. Finish is quick, and the vanilla cake batter dominates. Overall it’s tasty and the price wasn’t bad. Similar in flavor to a Jamaican overproof rum with the heat turned way down.

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

Funky and sweeter than most clairin I've had, it's not without the brine and olive I associate with the spirit, but it's a little less interesting... But maybe more accessible. If you already love clairin like me, don't go out of your way for this, but give it a try if you're new to the style!

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.

A bit of grappa and mezcal on the palate, white in colour.

If you don't like vinegar, capers, olives or gherkins, go somewhere else.

Agricole rumy se obecně těžko hodnotí,díky svoji specificnosti. Comunnal clairin je výborný exemplář, teoretický pitelny samostatně(pro zajimavost)ideální do drinků (daiquiri...). Rozhodně stojí za zkoušku.

First Haitian rum. Recommended, along with learning the history of it! Sharp taste

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!

The smell is pretty bad. You get used to it after a while but you still don't breathe while drinking it. The taste is better, earthy and funky. Didn't like it the first time I tried it (probably because we tasted a few smooth and aged rums before it). The second time was a lot better. This is the closest to fruit spirits from all rums I've tasted.
