The Clement XO is a 6-year-old rum from the Distillerie du Simon, located in a historic estate in Martinique. This premium Agricole rum is crafted from sugar cane juice using a Creole Column distillation method, resulting in an ABV of 42%. The rum undergoes a unique aging process, spending its first year in new French oak barrels before being transferred to bourbon barrels, giving it a deep aromatic intensity and a remarkable flavor profile.
On the nose, the Clement XO presents a fresh and minty aroma with a complex mix of spices, vegetal notes reminiscent of cut grass, and a hint of curry. As it opens up, woody notes become more pronounced, complemented by flavors of cane and white pepper. With aeration, it reveals sophisticated layers of licorice spiced with caraway seeds, and a fresh, fruity essence evoking apple or pear.
The taste is well-balanced, offering an equal harmony of cane, spices, and wood. A subtle acidity stimulates the palate, with sweet juice flavors where wood and vanilla blend seamlessly. The persistent spices are joined by subtle fruit notes that become more prominent over time.
This rum is a complex blend of bourbon and American oak barrels, which infuse it with characteristic intense aromas and fine, multifaceted flavors. The tannins in the barrels imbue the rum with its rich amber color.
