Intro:
"Batch two of Clairin Vaval – a white agricole rum distilled in a continuous Creole still at the Arawaks distillery in the village of Cavaillon, Haiti. Big, bold and showing excellent balance between sweetness and bitterness."- Specialty Brands
-
Nose:
Rich, funky, sweet. Almost a nose loaded with anise. Weird, fruity, melon forward. Some pepper, honey, strawberry and honeydew and anise.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel. No heat. Anise, sweet confectioners sugar, cracked pepper and honey dew.
-
Finish:
Short, but fun and complex. Cassia, anise, light cedar. Some pepper and confectioners sugar.
-
Overall:
This is WILD but I love it. It's like an absinthe rum cross, in a way that just works. I bet this makes a screaming cocktail.
