Clement 10-Year

C est le rhum qui m a fait comprendre que au final ce n était pas les rhums de type espagnol que je préférais.

When I first went into this rhum, I was a bit shocked. Very unique, more like a Islay Scotch, but once you get a grip on it and take it for what it's worth you will find it pleasant to drink. I like some sweetness in my rum but this one has absolutely zero sugars to be found at any time during the enjoyment. Very smooth and good with a fat cigar out on the sun patio. I would have liked a cork top versus a plastic screw on.

Rhum vraiment très appréciable à l attaque en bouche, la suite me plaît moins et me paraît trop sèche. Cependant par la suite j apprécie toutes les étapes de ce rhum et je le trouve bon. Les notes fruitées, boisées et épicées me plaisent plutôt bien.

Nice, but too expensive compared to Diplomatico or El Dorado

I have hear so much about Clement that when I had the opportunity to purchase several different bottles I jumped at the chance.

The odor is somewhat astringent and rather strong. A bold aroma telling me this is a rum that is ready, willing, and able to kick some butt if one is not careful.

I have hear the term "grassy" used for agricole rum but wasn't sure of what it was. Until now. The initial flavor on the tongue is quite grassy but is countered by a mild cane sweetness and oakiness. No major burn. Just a nice warmth.

Definitely a versatile rum. Smoother than the Clement 6-year rum. A marked improvement. Those who enjoy a dry rum will find this an immensely satisfying sipping rum but it also makes for excellent mixed drinks as well. The agricole style will give a unique flavor. Too bad not more bars use this in their establishments. I believe it would be a desirable alternative to those wishing something a little different in their cocktails. Definitely a recommendable rum.

Ce Clément 10ans est un classique de la maison : assemblage de rhums d'au moins 10ans. On retrouve les marqueurs des rhums antillais : vanille, cannelle, sucre... et c'est bien bon !

Down the middle for an agricole, grassy nose, honey finish

42% ABV. A solid agricole, very dry and a good amount of oak. But there's just too much cherry on the nose, and it's bottled far too weak.

7+

I had high expectations for this one, but got away disappointed. I just don't seem to love rum agricole in general so it might be me.

This was as expected, but needed for the list, otherwise a pass.
