Clement has crafted something worth paying attention to with Clement Rhum Blanc (40%). Hailing from Martinique, this agricole expression represents the kind of rum-making that rewards careful tasting and an open mind.
Clement has built a reputation for quality in the agricole category, and this bottling continues that tradition. An unaged Rhum Agricole produced by Clement in Martinique. The palate offers clean, herbal notes of fresh grass and garden herbs.. It is this attention to craft that elevates the final product beyond the ordinary.
On the nose, the rum opens with an inviting complexity that draws you into the glass. There is a confident interplay between the spirit's natural character and the influence of maturation, creating layers that reveal themselves gradually. The palate confirms what the nose promises — this is a rum with genuine substance. At 40% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated, never harsh or overwhelming, allowing the full spectrum of flavour to unfold across the tongue. The mouthfeel is pleasingly weighted, with enough body to carry the flavours without becoming heavy or cloying.
In terms of versatility, this is a rum that crosses boundaries. It is perfectly at home sipped neat after dinner, but it also brings real character to cocktails. A well-made Daiquiri using this as its base is a revelation — clean, balanced, and endlessly drinkable. Whether you are a purist or a cocktail enthusiast, there is something here for you.
At £29.75, Clement Rhum Blanc (40%) offers solid quality and merits a place on any rum lover's shelf. Scoring 7 out of 10, it holds its own in the agricole category. Worth seeking out.
