The Clement Selection Exclusive is a limited edition rum produced by the esteemed Distillerie du Simon in Martinique and skillfully bottled by La Confrerie du Rhum. This exceptional agricole rum was distilled in 2015 using a Creole Column and aged meticulously for 3 years and 9 months, resulting in a cask strength bottling of 60.9% ABV. With only 750 bottles produced, this rare release is a true gem for rum enthusiasts.
Upon the first impression, the Clement Selection Exclusive greets you with a rich aroma profile featuring notes of woody, vanilla, crème brûlée, dried fruit, and burnt sugar. The nose reveals a remarkable complexity for its young age. On the palate, it unfolds an array of flavors including wood, spice, vanilla, pepper, and cocoa. The taste experience is further enhanced by a peppery and tannic oak character that brings depth and intrigue to each sip.
This distinctive rum was handpicked for exclusive bottling by the founders of the La Confrerie du Rhum Facebook group during a visit to the iconic Habitation Clement in March 2020. Renowned cellar masters Robert Perronet and Julien Thimon collaborated on this unique project, ensuring a blend of excellence and tradition.
Upon tasting, the rum initially reveals a varnish note, followed by a delightful combination of woody, nutty, and vanilla flavors. With aeration, the experience evolves, showcasing bright nutty flavors and prominent toasted and tannic oak. The finish is rich and generous, characterized by milk chocolate, sweet spices, and fatty nuts, creating a sticky, savory nougatine with hints of vanilla and coconut.
Stamped with the IG Antilles Françaises designation, this agricole rum is bottled brut de fût at 60.9%, marking a remarkable first for Clement. It’s an essential addition to any collection, promising to impress even the most discerning rum aficionados with its outstanding quality and complexity.
