Description: Clairin Ansyen Casimir #CA16FF: Aficionados/Seelbach’s Selection
Spirit: Rum
Background: This is a single cask selection made by Aficionados group and Drink Seelbach’s. Distilled at the Douglas Casimir distillery in Hati using sugar cane juice, it was then aged for 41 Months in ex-Cognac casks and then bottled at cask strength of 52.7% ABV. I previously really enjoyed the other Ansyen Casimir so I have high hopes for this one.
