The Clairin Ansyen 2017 Le Rocher is a distinctive rum hailing from Haiti, crafted at the renowned Le Rocher distillery. This exceptional spirit is expertly selected and bottled by the esteemed independent bottler Velier. Distilled from sugar cane juice using a Pot Still, this cask strength rum boasts an ABV of 48.6%. It was aged for 36 months in a cask that previously held rhum from Marie-Galante, resulting in a truly unique flavor profile.
Margaux Picard of the Little Red Door bar in Paris selected this rum during the finals of the Clairin World Championship 2019. The Clairin Ansyen was entrusted to a cask on April 7, 2017, and bottled exactly three years later in April 2020. Enthusiasts have praised this rum for its captivating aroma of pineapple, citrus, smoky notes, and vegetal scents. The palate is rich with flavors of marmalade, roasted almonds, pineapple, and citrus, providing a sweet, smoky, and fruity experience. The aging process has added complexity and depth, enhancing the Clairin-specific characteristics while introducing new elements from the "ansyen" cask.
