Clement Rum VSOP Vieux Agricole

Introduction

Domaine de lAcajou on Martinique was purchased in the late 1880s by Homre Clment, who sought to produce rhum agricole after learning distillation techniques from brandy estates in France. Clment VSOP Rhum Agricole is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice in a single-column copper pot-still. It’s aged a minimum of 4 years in a combination of new French Limousin oak and re-charred ex-bourbon casks.

On the nose, Clment VSOP Rhum Agricole almost resembles a scotch whisky, with the charred oak aromas rising out of the glass mixed with vanilla, spices and floral notes. On the palate, the spirit develops an elegant herbal quality, with sage, thyme and rosemary mixing with brown sugar, roasted coffee and fruit flavours of red grapes, mango and banana. The finish is long, lingering and smooth, allowing all the components to meld together.
