Clairin Communal

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.

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.

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.

As seen in my other review about Clairin, I'm no fan of this poorly made line of products. Of all the clairins I've tried, this one is the least terrible. That's why it gets a 5.

Blend di quattro Clairin differenti. Decisamente maestoso
