Clement Single Cask Green

Not as smooth as I expected, it is actually quite dry. Low complexity it is a very good mid price "everyday" glass of brown liquor on Ice.

The nose sends of notes of oak, grass, molasse, subtle peaches and vanilla for sure, but the vanilla is not overpowering. Sipping the rum I pick up a slightly edgy profile with the same notes found in the aroma, but it's somewhat heavy on the tannins and finish with a spicy sprinkle of ground black pepper, lasting for a good while in the mouth. It's a decent rum but lacks a little refinement and there's a fair bit of other agricoles at this pricepoint that surpasses it.

Not quite as complex as the other single cask and a bit vanilla forward but still and incredible rum. I wish it had not been cut down to 40*

This Rum was quite tasty. Great to work with even for preparing special dishes. Good Agricole rum without being to agressive in it's vanilla notes.

Der Clement Single Cask Vanille Intense ist ein Rhum Agricole aus Martinique. Er wurde 2003 destilliert und 2016 abgefüllt. Er kommt in 0,5l Flaschen und 41,5% Alkohol. Der Rhum ist ohne Farbstoffe.

In der Nase bemerkt man direkt das es sich um keinen gewöhnlichen Rhum Agricole handelt. Starke Fasnoten gesellen sich zu grasig süßen Vanille Noten. Am Gaumen ist er zunächst würzig, nicht viel Süße, Vanille Aromen, es kommt viel Fass Geschmack durch mit etwas Schärfe. Im Abgang bleibt tatsächlich vor allem die holzigen Fasnoten die an Bourbon Whisky erinnern präsent und durchdringt den Gaumen. Im Nachklang ist er ansprechend lang und trocken. Die Aromen bleiben über Minuten bestehen.

Sicherlich kein gewöhnlicher Rhum Agricole und Freunde der süßen Rums werden hier nicht unbedingt glücklich. Da ich trockene Rums sehr schätze bin ich sehr zufrieden und trinke den Clement immer wieder gerne. Top!

The Clement Single Cask Vanilla Intense is a Rhum Agricole from Martinique. It was distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2016. It comes in 0.5l bottles and 41.5% alcohol. The Rhum is without dyes.

In the nose you notice directly that it is not an ordinary Rhum Agricole. Strong fasnotes join in grassy sweet vanilla notes. On the palate it is initially spicy, not much sweetness, vanilla aromas, there comes a lot of barrel taste through with a little sharpness. In the finish, the woody pruning notes reminiscent of bourbon whisky remain present and penetrate the palate. In the aftermath, it is appealingly long and dry. The aromas persist for minutes.

Certainly no ordinary Rhum Agricole and friends of the sweet rums will not necessarily be happy here. Since I appreciate dry rums very much I am very satisfied and like to drink the Clement again and again. Top!

En typisk Agricole rom. Dejlig rom med tydelige vanilje noter og en anelse røg.

A little strong and dry at first, this rum reveals its vanilla aromas (even if it does not contain any). Not my favorite from Clement, but it is still a very good rum.

Visited the Habitation Clement distillery while vacationing in Martinique. Comprehensive Disney-like distillery tour with an open tasting bar. Clement Green Single Cask was priced at EUR 65 at the distillery. Very nice packaging, bottle and label design. Golden color. Dry Rhum Agricole alongside grass, plenty of vanilla and strong oak to the nose and palate. Quite a burn at the end being so dry. Rhum Agricole fan boys can add 2 points to my score.

Can't find vanilla flavor. Slightly slim in the taste at last.

It's way too dry for me. The vanilla is indeed really intense. I like vanilla but it's still not my thing
