Rhum Clément 10 Year Old is a rhum vieux agricole from Martinique, made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses and aged for at least ten years. It is aged, blended and bottled at Habitation Clément in Le François, and bottled at 42% ABV.
Rhum agricole carries Martinique's AOC, and its sugarcane-juice base gives it a grassy, lively character. A decade in oak, largely ex-bourbon barrels, concentrates the flavours and makes this a round, full-bodied rhum with a well-defined character.
On the nose, orange marmalade, acacia honey and roasted cocoa beans; on the palate, dried fruit, tan leather and cigar box with a pinch of cinnamon; and a long finish of almond and wood.
Habitation Clément is one of the great names of French Caribbean rum, and its 10 Year Old is a benchmark for aged agricole.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
