A very nice sipping rum. Slightly sweet with lots of subtle flavors.

Pas un rhum de dégustation à mon goût personnel. Rhum pour Ti punch.

Lots of wood, spice, sawdust and grassy notes from the sugarcane. Lovely balance.

Buon rum ma il bouquet aromatico è un po' ridotto, poco persistente nel finale.
Per un rum della Martinica con questo prezzo mi aspettavo qualcosa di più.

Very light nose, smooth going down with a very slight after taste. Not a bold flavor
at all, Gold color.

It was my first agricole (rhum made with French dominions’ style by pressing sugarcanes to extract juice instead of molasses) and it really impressed me.
At the nose is wonderful with scent of oak, toasted fruit, orange and vanilla. The persistence of taste is good and it doesn’t burn in the throat with right balance of sweets and tastes of chocolate and almond.
At the current price of 70€ definitely a must have in my cabinet.

Beautiful rum. This is something everyone should try. It's dry but still fruity. Love all the spicy tones. Best agricole so far!!

Not a great taste compared to other rums. A bit expensive for what it is. Strong alcohol taste overpowers the flavors. Won’t buy it again, too many other better choices.

Let's suppose someone blind folded you and told you that two snifters sat in front of you and you were asked to sip each one. Your choices were: two bourbons, two rums, or one of each. Let one snifter be this rhum agricole and the other one be an 8-12 year old Kentucky bourbon. Most of you would say that these are two bourbons. This 10 Year Clement is the most bourbon-like rum that I have ever tried. So, at this high price, why buy this rhum in the first place? One is better off with rhum agricoles of LESSER aging because of the "too long in the wood" factor really affecting agricole rhum much more than molasses based rums. Ice cubes tame this one down, but I won't waste my money on it again. Their 6 Year is much better. Their younger VSOP is even better yet.
This is one of the few highly rated rums that have sunk down to this low level in my ratings. The others who have earned this distinction are Mount Gay XO and Flor de Cana 18. Buyer beware!!!!
As a rum, I have rated it as a 4/10. As a gluten free bourbon, it rates as a 10/10. I am not allergic to gluten, but I can truly attest as to the health benefits of being gluten free. I will keep copies of this review for my best liquor store vendors who often have requests for tasty gluten free spirits.
