The Clairin Ansyen Vaval is a distinctive Haitian rum that stands out for its unique character and production process. Crafted at the Arawaks distillery and selected by the independent bottler Velier, this rum promises an intriguing blend of aromas and flavors. Distilled in 2017 from sugar cane juice using a traditional Pot Still, it boasts an ABV of 50.2% and is bottled in a 700ml size. The Clairin Ansyen Vaval was aged for 22 months in a cask that previously held rum, imparting complex layers to its profile.
On the nose, it reveals a unique bouquet of anise, coconut, pineapple, licorice, and mint. The palate follows with a harmonious mix of mint, tea, herbal, licorice, and anise notes. Described by enthusiasts as reminiscent of a "dirty TDL" rum, it delivers an unexpected and delightful experience with its strong herbal and fruity components. This aged Clairin is a testament to the intriguing possibilities of Haitian rum.
The Clairin Ansyen Vaval was handpicked by David Moller, a bartender from the Hornet in Karlstad, Sweden. Moller selected this rum during the finals of the Clairin World Championship 2018, where he was one of seven finalists. The rum was meticulously aged for just under two years before being bottled in April 2019, capturing the essence of its unique maturation journey.
