Clairin Communal Ansyen 49.3% 700ml is a uniquely blended aged rum from Haiti, crafted by Velier. This exceptional rum is a blend of four traditional Clairins—Sajous, Vaval, Casimir, and Le Rocher—aged for 18 to 24 months in a variety of barrels, including those previously home to rums like Bielle, Caroni, and Mount Gay, as well as whiskies such as Benriach, Widow Jane, Buffalo Trace, and Jack Daniel's. Limited to just 1800 bottles, it offers a complex and intriguing profile that stands out in the world of aged Clairins. On the nose, Clairin Communal Ansyen opens with vegetal notes of sugarcane and freshly-cut grass, followed by delightful touches of honey and hints of dried apricots, creating a well-rounded aroma. The palate delivers a spicy and slightly woody initial impact, progressing to acidity, olive nuances, and a subtle fruity finish. The complexity of flavors includes tropical fruit and tobacco, providing a paradoxical yet captivating tasting experience that evolves with each sip. Overall, this rum presents a distinct character that blends the purity of traditional Clairin with a rum-like acidity reminiscent of Jamaican spirits. While initially disconcerting, Clairin Communal Ansyen grows on the palate and offers a unique addition to any rum collection. Priced at 53€, this bottle promises an intriguing journey between two diverse rum worlds, making it a valuable and noteworthy addition for rum enthusiasts looking for something different and innovative.
