VIEUX SAJOUS 2nd Release, 56.3% ABV

Vieux Sajous 2nd edition follows the launch of the first vintage in 2020. It represents the ultimate evolution of a barrel-aged Clairin and the perfect balance between the identity of Clairin, produced by Michel Sajous at the Chelo distillery, and the influence of wood in aging spirits in the tropical Haitian climate.

This second release is based on the 2017 harvest of Clairin Sajous. It is a blend of 14 casks, previously used for various great rums, whiskies, and cognacs. This very delicate Vieux Sajous proves that aged Clairin belongs to the same category as other highly sought-after aged cane spirits.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
