The Clement 2008 100% Canne Bleue Single Cask, aged for 11 years, is an exquisite representation of the fine rums hailing from Martinique. With only 335 bottles produced, this limited-edition gem captures the essence of Agricole rum, distilled from 100% Canne Bleue. Bottled at an impressive 57.8% ABV, this 500 ml treasure showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and heritage of Clement, a brand revered for its dedication to quality and tradition.
The journey begins with a nose that is profoundly intense, reminiscent of a sun-soaked Martinique cane field. Initially, the high alcohol content demands a moment to breathe, revealing a symphony of Agricole notes with fresh grass, robust oak, vanilla, and a touch of citrus. As it evolves, hints of leather add a layer of sophistication.
The palate is a masterclass in balance and complexity. The initial dryness is complemented by an intricate dance of oak and spices, interwoven with fruity notes and the nutty richness that many connoisseurs seek in a distinguished rum. The flavors of vanilla, orange, and dark chocolate meld seamlessly, creating a sensory experience that is both intense and gratifying.
The finish is long, dry, and memorable, laced with lingering notes of oak, spices, and fruits. The slightly grassy undertones towards the end add a unique character, appealing to those who appreciate the multifaceted nature of premium Agricole rums.
This rum is distilled from 100% Canne Bleue, a rare variety of sugarcane, and aged for 11 years, resulting in a highly complex and rich profile. Only 335 bottles were produced, making it a limited-edition rarity.
You can expect robust notes of grass, oak, vanilla, citrus, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a dry finish with lingering hints of fruits and spice.
To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to let the rum rest in the glass for a short while after pouring. This allows the intense aromas to mellow and reveal the rich, multifaceted flavors.
Overall: This rum offers a complex and multifaceted profile, characterized by intense aromas and flavors of grass, oak, vanilla, citrus, and spice, with a dry and lingering finish.
Having sampled a wide array of Clement rums, I can confidently say that the 2008 100% Canne Bleue Single Cask stands among the best. Its intensity, balanced by a sophisticated blend of aromas and flavors, offers a remarkable and memorable tasting experience. The meticulous attention to detail in its production is evident in every sip, making it a standout choice for any rum connoisseur.
