This Rhum Clément Private Cask is a rhum agricole from Martinique, distilled in 2015 and finished in a cask that previously held grappa, bottled at cask strength, 62.6% ABV (125.2 proof).
Clément's Private Cask program bottles individual casks selected for specific partners. Made from fresh sugarcane juice at Habitation Clément, the rhum spent around five years in oak before its grappa finish.
Grappa, the Italian pomace brandy, leaves fruity, floral and grapey notes in the wood, adding an unusual aromatic layer to the grassy, spicy agricole spirit.
A powerful, rare single cask, it is a prize for collectors of French Caribbean rum.
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.
