Clairin Sajous is a distinctive and intriguing rum produced at the Chelo Distillery in Haiti, imported and bottled by Velier. Distilled in 2013 using sugar cane juice and a pot still method, this rum boasts a robust 53.5% ABV. Luca Gargano and his company, Velier, brought this unique Haitian spirit, made from pure sugar cane juice and fermented with natural yeasts, to the world stage.
The Clairin Sajous is produced by the Chelo Distillery, located near Saint Michel de l'Attalaye in the northern part of Haiti. The small distillery of Michel Sajous is situated amidst a 30-hectare sugar cane plantation.
The rum offers an intense aroma of sugarcane, along with organic, vegetal, and truffle notes, complemented by a light peppery touch. The palate delivers sugarcane, citrus (lemon), and a hint of mint, balanced by a subtle sweetness. The finish is moderately long, with a return of sugarcane, citrus, and a light medicinal/vegetal note, all wrapped in a dry delivery.
Tasting Clairin Sajous is a unique experience, as it unveils herbaceous, pear, citrus, mandarin essential oil, and fresh mint flavors, all blanketed by an abundance of sugarcane notes. This is truly a celebration of sugarcane juice. The rum's unmatched character and the wide range of possibilities it brings to white rum have earned it a well-deserved appreciation.
