I have sampled some of the Clement rums and thus far liked them all. This one, however, is more challenging. It is quite different. It is a blend of single-cane agricole rums then matured for three years in used French oak barrels. It is a rich, deep amber colors with a strong yet pleasant aroma. The flavor pulls no punches. There is an immediate pepperiness with an underlying cane juice sweetness (just a hint) along with definitely oak flavor. It has a real burn to it. This is almost like a young bourbon in a way. It has a dry finish. In some of their other agricole rums a noticeable grassiness is present but in this rum it is barely noticeable until the finish and then you can taste it until it fades away.

Hard to consider this a sipping rum. I would prefer it as a mixer but not certain what sort of drink it would do best in. I would hesitate using it in fruit-based cocktails but I wouldn't turn down one made with this rum.

Overall, a complex rum for advanced palates. This is definitely not a rum for novices.

Une douce et agréable sensation envahit le palais. Des notes vanillées viennent enrichir ce rhum qui pourrait avoir été vieilli dans des fûts de bourbon.

I had to do a double take that I was actually drinking rum and not something else. Very dry and mellow, definitely understand the bourbon comments. Wasn't harsh, imo, like some of the other reviews, but I think this bottle had been open for a bit. 6.5 if I could give it one, but I'll round up to 7.

Lehký rum se dřevem a příjemnou ovocností, trocha zemitosti. Je to lehounké.

Yowzers! This is a truly barrel-aged rum. I'd suggest this for a bourbon lover.

Had this open for a while now, as I don't really drink that much Agricole. However, I just finished a Bally Ambre, which I enjoyed, so turned my attention to this. Maybe my tastes have changed a bit, but I'm really enjoying this one.

It has a good purity of cane tempered with a gentle oak. Not hugely complex, but an easy sipper with quite a good length. The dryness of the finish makes you want to top up!

The flavor is what you’d expect for a slightly aged agricole. Whisky notes, cane, some heat

I would love to travel to Martinique, but until then, I can sample the rum for a taste of the island. A bit dry and oaky for my taste but quite flavorful.
