Clairin Sajous Rhum Blanc

Idk what hogo is, but I'm sure that it's hogo- flavored

2021

Flavor bomb. For sipping (possibly with water or ice) a 4.5. For a daiquiri a 5! So 4.75 overall.

Aromas of tropical fruit, a little grass, light brine. Palate is at once earthy and fruity, with a somewhat heavy feel and a little bit of ethanol. The finish is long and drying. I think I prefer Le Rocher, but still haven't found a clairin I don't like.

On the nose I get banana taffy, over-ripe mango and papaya, orange zest, burnt sage, black tea and a hint of clove. The mouthfeel is heavy and hot. On the palate, I get notes of mango, watermelon, pineapple nectar, sage, grated ginger, black tea, burnt cinnamon stick, and white pepper. The palate is long and warming, led by the tropical fruit that leads to the peppery conclusion.
