The Velier 2016 Chelo Sajous Clairin Ansyen Cask #CARSA7 is a distinctive and complex rum that hails from the Chelo Distillery in Haiti. Bottled in 2018, this rum embodies a unique combination of youthfulness and depth, owing much of its character to the Caroni cask in which it was aged. At an ABV of 55.1%, this 700ml bottle is a testament to the skillful blending and aging processes that Velier is renowned for.
On the nose, this rum is an intriguing blend of fruity sweetness and slightly artificial notes, with a subtle smokiness and a touch of 'Caroni dirtiness.' Honeyed sweetness mingles with tangy passion fruit and gooseberry, followed by a woody finish with a hint of vinegar essence. The typical vegetal notes common in other Clairins are notably absent, making for a unique olfactory experience.
Upon tasting, the initial impression may seem slightly flat, but quickly evolves into a complex, spicy-floral profile. The palate experiences a range of flavors starting with a salty bite, followed by allspice, anise, and a rich nuttiness. Floral notes of violets, alongside herbal undertones, make a fascinating interplay with the Caroni’s characteristic 'dirty' finish.
The finish is long and evolving, turning from green and lovely to increasingly grassy, with lingering notes of chestnuts. Overall, the Velier 2016 Chelo Sajous Clairin Ansyen offers a beautifully layered and multifaceted tasting experience, harmoniously blending spicy, fruity, floral, and mineral elements with a smoky finale.
This rum is unique due to its aging in Caroni casks, which imparts a distinct 'dirty' character to the youthful Clairin. The combination of fruity, floral, spicy, and smoky notes makes it stand out.
