(Restock - 2 bottles))

This version of Sajous showcases the impressive power of a Cristalline sugarcane distillate, elevated by barrel ageing.
Then, having reached its peak, it allows the wonderfully oxidative, empyreumatic, honeyed and spicy notes to come fully to the fore.

Produced by Luca Gargano.            

Located in Saint-Michel de l’Attalaye, the Chelo distillery, owned by Michel Sajous, produces a clairin made from the ‘Cristalline’ variety of sugar cane.               

Tasting notes :

Nose: both fresh and heady. Beautifully oxidative (roasted pineapple, stewed fruit), the initial nose evokes in turn a sweet Jurançon wine and a Vin Jaune from the Jura. This apparent duality actually conceals a deep affinity between these two styles of wine. Once aerated, the Sajous Clairin reasserts its character. Cane honey, cane sugar and fresh cane juice completely flood the aromatic palette. Then, a few smoky notes highlight the influence of ageing.

Palate: creamy, full-bodied. Remarkably refined, the attack reveals honeyed (acacia), floral (vetiver, geranium), delicately spiced (cinnamon, nutmeg) and citrus flavours. With vegetal notes (sugar cane, succulent plants), the mid-palate evolves towards more vanilla and liquorice-like notes. 

Finish: long, velvety, powdery (cocoa, rice grain); the opening of the finish is also exotic (banana, pineapple, persimmon). 
The empty glass has a noble, spicy aroma (saffron, cardamom).

Food and Rum Pairings :

This Clairin pairs wonderfully with cod fritters as a starter, spicy dishes or even an exotic fruit salad for dessert.
