Clement presents Clement Rum 10 Year Old, a agricole rum that demonstrates what Martinique can produce when craft meets ambition. The brand has long been associated with quality in this category, and this bottling continues that tradition with confidence. Priced at £73.25, it represents a thoughtful proposition for anyone exploring the breadth of rum.
Clement works within the agricole tradition, pressing fresh sugarcane and fermenting the juice to create a spirit with vibrancy and depth that molasses-based rums rarely achieve. The Martinique climate and soil contribute directly to the flavour profile.
On the nose, expect fresh-cut sugarcane, grassy herbs, white flower, green olive, lime leaf. The palate delivers herbaceous and dry with fresh cane juice, grassy notes, white pepper, mineral character, and citrus brightness. The finish is clean finish with vegetal character, citrus, and grassy dryness.
The classic Ti Punch is the essential serve — a measure of agricole, a disc of fresh lime, and a touch of cane syrup. No ice, no fuss. This format showcases the grassy, herbaceous character beautifully. It also makes an exceptional Daiquiri variant.
Clement Rum 10 Year Old is an impressive achievement from Clement. At £73.25, it delivers complexity and quality that many more expensive rums struggle to match. This is a agricole rum with real personality — one that earns its place on the shelf through sheer quality of flavour. Highly recommended.
