The Sajous took this cask very well. Nice Brine and olive notes, with some tropical fruits mixed in. The caroni cask was picked up very well, with nice motor oil funk and some diesel fuel in the mix as well. This is some pretty weird and awesome stuff as the layers and flavor complexity from the finish really add to the clairin experience. I was worried the cask would be overpowering but it was not. An excellent showing.
