Jahrgänge aus dem Fass – Vieux Sajous Aged 5 Years Vintages 1998, 1999, 2000
Man hört nicht mehr so dramatisch viel von Clairin, wie damals, als Velier die Rumwelt mit seiner Marketingkampagnie für den Brand aus Haiti aufwirbelte.

Getting near to the end of the monster auction haul, we're getting into the odds and ends.
- Indri Single Malt Whisky Trini
- Amrut Malt Gurus Greedy Angels 10 year Peated Rum Finish, which is intriguing
- Cotswolds Distillery Single Cask Collection New Vibrations

- Wild Turkey Heritage Single Barrel 101 Proof
And, for a change of pace, a rum:
- Hampden Estate Rum Great House Distillery Edition 2024. This was the last one I needed to have the complete run from 2019 through 2025, so I'm all caught up.

About to do an epic rum tasting. You either won’t hear from me again today, or you’ll hear from my drunk ass WAY too much.
