Clairin - Casimir 2016 | Haitian Rhum Agricole

NOSE:
A strong and pungent Nose, it leaps out of the glass at you - rich fruit and herbs with a pinch of salt - tarragon, mint, banana skins, and overripe apples and pears. Beneath the fruit it’s rich and oily, with grassy olive oil and perfectly ripe bananas.

TASTE:
Sharper than expected from the Nose, with Granny Smith apples, lime zest and bitter pith exploding on the Taste. Behind that lies lots of herbal bitterness and a balancing fruity sweetness - pine needles and green leaves with a background of fruit chews, boiled sweets and roasted bananas.

FINISH:
Long, with green leaves fading to sweet, overripe fruit and soft spice.

OVERALL:
A raw and flavour-packed rum. A sweet and heady Nose leads into a sharp and herbal body, all of which demands attention. One for sipping or using in classic agricole rum cocktails.
