Clairin 2017 Ansyen Sajous 22 Months Single Bourbon Cask 55.8% 700ml is an exceptional rum originating from Haiti, bottled by the renowned Clairin distillery. Distilled in 2017 and aged for 22 months in a bourbon cask, this limited-edition spirit was bottled in April 2019. With an ABV of 55.8%, this 700ml bottle delivers a robust yet nuanced drinking experience. The rum offers a rich and complex flavor profile, a testament to its careful aging process. While the bourbon cask has introduced subtle notes of grains and cereals reminiscent of whisky, the core characteristics of Sajous rum shine through unmistakably. The nose reveals spicy notes mingling with sweet scents of sugarcane, pineapple, roasted elements, hints of cocoa, and confections. On the palate, intense flavors balance spice and minerality, featuring notes of red fruits, barrel char, and a lingering warmth. The finish is flavorful, with sweet notes alongside hints of barrel char, smoke, and minerality. Highly rated by reviewers, with scores ranging from 80 to 90 out of 100, this rum has been praised for its smoothness, creamy texture, and the complexity developed over time in the cask. Though some might prefer the unaged version for its raw character, this aged variant remains a great dram for rum enthusiasts looking for a complex and rewarding drinking experience.
This rum is unique due to its aging process in a single bourbon cask for 22 months, which imparts additional layers of flavors, including notes reminiscent of whisky.
Expect a complex mix of spicy notes, sweet sugarcane, pineapple, roasted elements, cocoa, red fruits, barrel char, and a hint of smoke.
While the unaged version showcases the raw character of Sajous rum, the aged version in this bourbon cask introduces additional complexity and depth, making it a richer experience overall.
Clairin 2017 Ansyen Sajous 22 Months Single Bourbon Cask is a masterful blend of traditional Haitian rum-making with the added depth of bourbon cask aging. While the barrel aging might mute some of the raw notes of Sajous, it introduces new dimensions of flavor such as pineapple and a slight smokiness. Though I appreciate the unaged version for its straightforward boldness, this aged variant offers a richly rewarding experience that is both complex and smooth. A fantastic choice for rum enthusiasts seeking something special.
