Clement Single Cask

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.

Ikke fordi den smager ret meget af vanilje........

I have the blue cane.
The smell is amazing, very sweet and a bit peppery.
In mouth, you get the cask and some floral flavors from the cane.
Great balance, if you like the Rhums Agricoles, this is one not to miss.

Jag är inte superförtjust i franska skolan men helt klart trevlig om man även gillar whiskey

Ce rhum est le meilleur pour moi chez Vlement derriere le 15 ans biensur.il existe trois versions.moi je parle de la version canne bleue.on retrouve le cote canne qu on retrouve ds le blanc avec cecboisé qui est la signzture clement.g le xo.mais celui ci est le plus doux.a 26 e a la distillerie c un must .je le conseille vivement pour son rapport qualité prix.n aimant pas trop le boisé certains y mettront 9 et selon les gouts ce sera votre meilleur...

This one is a really good and tasteful rum but its aftertaste is really too short...

These are all going to be a shade different unless yours comes from the same batch. Mine was selected by Hi-Time Wine Cellars, distilled 01/10/12 and bottled 29/07/16 Cask #20070230 bottle 166 of 448. A stout 44.4% ABV aged in New French Oak.
The agricole grass comes through strong with huge pepper notes. A relatively young aged Rhum it strikes a nice balance. Immensely enjoyable and interesting.
These types of bottles are super rare and do not last long. If you love 'real' rum, not the sweetened mixer crap and pass on the opportunity to grab one of these single cask series then your doing yourself a huge disservice. It may not be what you had in mind when you walked through the door but if you see it GRAB it!!

Very pronounced expression from the casks, nice Bourbon warmth with vanilla and tabacco notes. Not a lot of the floral overtones experienced with unaged or younger Agricola rums. Really great sipper.

This rhum has none of the familiar vegetal tones usually associated with agricoles. It is a fiery and aggressive assortment of flavors: bourbon is very prominent, but so is red wine. And cookies. Spice and oak in the brief finish. Blindfolded, I might guess this to be a molasses-based beverage. Also, it has a very thin mouthfeel and a beautiful sunset-red color in the glass. There is almost too much going on here. Nothing about this rhum is bad. I just wish it would calm down a bit. If I had to guess, I would say it was made in Hollywood...

Delicato, molto fine e secco. Sapori di bacche e frutta secca.

La maison clement nous fait plaisir avec ses single cask.
Ce rhum est un bon rhum a déguster, gouter, decouvrir.

En super rom som smager dejligt og længe, der er tydelige noter af vanilje, bourbon fadene i eg.
Den er simpelthen fantastisk.
Den skal absolut drikkes rent uden is eller andet forstyrrende.

Different then other Rums, oaky and strong with extra long aftertaste. I suggest for your friends that prefer whiskey.

A very good rum. Well balanced. Nice color and great taste!

Maybe not for all. At first a lot of alcohol, after the taste. It seems like a whiskey. The first impression you can have is "too strong", but if you taste it relaxed, sipping slowly, you will discover its facets.
I think I would have always a bottle of it, because it is very different from the others.

My friend brought this battle directly from Martinique. We opened the 214/406 bottle.

The rum is light brown and provides 42.2% alcohol. You can feel a hint of fig when nosing, when you taste is burns on the tip of your tongue, but pleasantly. The throat is also quite strong but the afterburn is smooth.

In general I like the agricole rums for their freshness and this one is really great.

Bon petit rhum sec! Assez intéressant! Bonne dégustation!

Un très bon rhum. C est un des premiers que je goûte. Je le recommande.

Its quite complex so i would not advice it to people that only starting to drink rums. Good looking representative rum a good buy for your restaurant or just to sip with guest that you know need honoring. Sweet smell of vanilla, caramel, little bit of black peepers.
