Clement Single Cask

Definitely not for me. I know it’s a good Rhum but found flavor to be unappealing and harsh.

Short sharp and rather dry explosions of excellence. NICE!

When compared to La Mauny XO, I preferred la Mauny slightly.

As there are different batches/picks of this, the quality will vary. I believe they're all bottled at 56.6% though.

N- Fresh rubber, fresh nutmeg, pretty earthy with more molasses nuance than agricole, which is a bit strange, hence is quite sweet on the nose. Woody vanilla and sawdust dominant, dusty carpenter workshop, feel the aged with the oak but not showing the depth. Does get oilier after breath, still oak-y but secondary notes developed with warm butter cake with sour berries on rusty sphere. (86/20)

P- Falling apart with acidic sour plum and bitter lemon, oxidized white wine, incomplete and lacking the backbone to stands on, weak structure. Probably not the best cask to haul for single cask expression, or probably the condition of the bottle. (65/13)

F- Short, dry, feel like sipping on faulty sherry than rum. (65/13)

B/B- 65/13. Off balance, despite still acceptable on aroma.

Weighted Rate- 59pt

Contrairement à ce que son nom peut laisser penser, il ne s’agit pas ici d’un rhum aromatisé ou arrangé à la vanille. C’est grâce à une chauffe lente et intense du bois que le fût de bourbon a apporté au rhum Clément qu’il a abrité pendant 11 ans de tels arômes intenses de vanille.

Rhum très sec avec arômes boisés.
Distillé uniquement à partir de la variété de canne à sucre "la Canne bleue", je reste un peu déçu par le "Single Cask" car l'équivalent en rhum blanc est magnifique.

De scherpte van de alcohol overheerst. Ik hou eerder van een "volle" smaak.

Everything in perfect harmony. Just close your eyes and enjoy this rumeditation.

Ik heb het niet op Franse rum. Agricole is niks voor mij, geef mij maar een zoete molasse.
