Clement VO 3-Year

Got this 5cl sample from the Rum Ratings Tasting Club.
Clément VO 3yo is a blend of rums aged in new oak barrels and former bourbon barrels.
The aroma is fresh, fruity, vegetal and dry.
On the palate it’s grassy, spicy, woody with some nutty notes and it’s also possible to detect tropical dried fruits as mango, apricot and papaya.
The finish is medium long with tastes of cane and lime besides the tastes from the palate.
Overall a typical young AOC rum.
Picture: My emptied sample and my poured glass.

Il est tres bon si on apprecie les rhums secs et francs.

On the edge for me. For not being sweet, I surprisingly like it. Fits good to meat and salty food.

It's not a sweet rum, not a problem for me, i prefer, but not a good taste, even for mixing i don't know something disturb me on this one. There is mush better for this price.

The kind of bottle I keep for my daily ! Very good balance and perfect to close a meal! Could potentially miss a bit of complexity and length but you need to move to the premium range of this brand to get this !!

You can find it pretty much everywhere… at least in France, not the worse, but clearly not the best

I'm quite surprised by the reviews, this rhum is flavoured and can be drink neat. You can also drink it with juice. I rank it between 6 and 7.

On its own, it will not present itself as a memorable agricultural rum, sad to say, that in the mouth it attacks to the point of not really leaving room for any flavours other than the taste of alcohol.
It may be useful in a cocktail for this price if you want an agricultural rum.

Trouvable facilement en supermarché à bas prix (20-30€), il ne faut pas espérer beaucoup de ce rhum.
Seul, il ne se présentera pas comme un rhum agricole mémorable, il est triste de dire, qu'en bouche, il attaque au point de ne pas réellement laisser la place à des arômes autre que le goût de l'alcool.
Il pourra se trouver utile dans en cocktail pour ce prix si l'on souhaite un rhum agricole.

Premier rhum agricole que j'ai bu.
Bouteille que j'ai trouvé à 18€ et pour ce prix je dit bravo.
Peut ce boire nature sans problème.
