The Velier 2016 Chelo Haiti Vieux Sajous 1st Release is a cask strength rum that has been meticulously aged for four years. Released in 2020, this is the inaugural release of Clairin Vieux Sajous from the esteemed independent bottler Velier. Crafted at the Distillerie Chelo in Haiti, this rum is made from non-hybridized cane known as canne cristalline, cultivated without the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or other chemicals.
This exceptional rum boasts an expressive bouquet with aromas of pineapple, crème brûlée, vanilla, lime, and lychee. On the palate, it reveals a rich tapestry of black pepper, coconut milk, sage, peach, and ginger. Notably, this rum stands out as the first clairin to undergo aging, thus transitioning from its original designation of clairin to be recognized as a rum.
Given its limited production, with only 2,316 bottles available, each bottle is highly coveted. The rum is a pure canne juice rum (canne cristalline) and bears the signature of Michel Sajous. It is elegantly presented in Velier's iconic black bottle, making it a treasure for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

This rum is a polarizing experience; initially, it may come off as pungent, but it becomes more gentle and light after some aeration. Aromas of vanilla and tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana are prominent, complemented by a balanced presence of spices, wood, and a touch of medicinal notes. The taste follows with a rich, buttery texture, showcasing a delightful mix of fruits, spices, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and satisfying, dominated by fruity and coffee notes. While some may find the initial solvent aroma off-putting, it develops into a complex and enjoyable rum with a unique character. Overall, it is a superb rum that demonstrates both the rebellious spirit of Jamaican rums and the agricultural richness of Haitian clairins. A must-try for rum enthusiasts.
