Clairin Sajous
Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"I like even better than the already extremely good 2018 bottling. Is more complex with a very nice fruity berry note. Otherwise also green and grassy with lots of sugar cane and pronounced ester notes. One of the best white rums!"
Vieux Sajous (LMDW)
Top review from Thunderbird:
"The successor to Sajous is quite similar to its predecessor, but doesn't quite come close. It is much tamer than the latter, which some people may like better, as it is somewhat rounder and more palatable. The range of aromas is very good and varied (fruit, spice, sugar cane)"
Clairin Sajous
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"A great rum! You can feel the initial strength of the alcohol, but the aromas that come after a while are well marked and you don't have to sniff the glass for too long. A firm, old-fashioned rum. On the palate, in addition to a fruity and vegetal component (where olives stand out), this aftertaste of solvents/esters never unpleasant stands out. Very long finish where in turn all the previously perceived flavors are felt. Predominant on the finish is a hint of peat/smoky always accompanied by solvents/esters.Unique!Velier nailed it! Long live Velier!"
Clairin Ansyen Sajous (LMDW)
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a very nice Clairin and price to quality is very good. The nose is fresh and fruity with varnish, and wood as well as light earthy and floral notes. The palate is complex, balanced and very well rounded and fresh with brown sugar, fruit, vanilla and light floral tobacco notes. The finish is medium long and sweet with dried fruit, wood and light vanilla."

Top review from TheJackDrop:
"Perhaps the most balanced and fruity of the clairins I've tasted. There's clearly a touch of olive and funk, but above all beautiful fruit, perhaps apricot and mirabelle plum in addition to banana, mingling with a hint of vegetal, and some sweet vanilla flavors. A sprinkling of spices to keep things interesting, and paf!"

"#4882 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, fruity, faint wood, faint tannins, light varnish, light earthy, light floral, light sugarcane, cinnamon. Palate Balanced, fresh, light wood, spice, cinnamon, light floral, light herbal, medium spicy, faint ginger, sugarcane, oily, fruits. Finish Medium long, medium spicy, oily, fresh, faint floral, faint varnish, faint tannins, light wood, fruits. Pretty well balanced release and I look forward to seeing the price in the shops. It is usually sold out pretty fast, so if you need one catch it from the start."
Clairin Vieux Sajous - Second Release
Top review from Frank:
"VSGBNose: not a classic Clarin, the oloroso cask has mellowed it considerably. Fruity it is, apple and honeydew melon with a little vinegar. In addition something vegatibles, maybe artichoke, green with something, like chamomile. Palate: hui, seems very sweet, sherry sweet, so quite full-bodied. Cherry, plum and dried, sulfured apricot. On the palate, the sherry fizz - as so often, or almost always - clearly drowns out the actual rum. If you like that, it is quite tasty, but for me always too monotonous and interchangeable. So also here."

"31.12. 2019 Last tasting of 2019 went into 2020. Celebrating with family and friends who like rum we ended up having a great party according to my notes. Notes. Transparent in colour. Nose: fresh, intense, fruit, herbs, polish, sugarcane, floral. Palate: Intense, spicy, oily, sugarcane, polish, citrus. Finish: long, spicy, citrus, anise."
Clairin Vieux Sajous - First Release
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a rum that will separate waters as an either you like it or not. Right out of the bottle it can be pungent to some, but after resting for a while it becomes more gentle and light. Fruity with medicinal notes are there from nose to finish. There is also oak and spice in the mix. Price to quality can be discussed all the way to the bank :-)"

Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"Starting from the fact that you cannot compare white rums with aged rums for obvious organoleptic reasons, this clairin sajous is really crazy! I currently prefer them to their aged version. Rich in esters, olive, mineral (tastes like the sea) and complex. Magic!!! I could give much more if there was a distillation between white and amber rums."

This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, vegetal, citrus, spice, olive, light herbal, sugarcane, light floral, faint smoke. Palate Oily, fresh, round, vegetal, olive, faint salt, faint smoke, citrus, faint grass, sugarcane, faint tar. Finish Medium long, fresh, oily, vegetal, olive, light salt, citrus, light herbal. Not a bad rum either and the price is usually pretty good at release."
