Clement Select Barrel

Clement is a very known producer of agricole rum. Their blanc is my go to white rum, so I was exited to try this Select Barrel. It did not disappoint.

Nose: Oak, tobacco, coffee, vanilla and a slight vegetal funk
Taste: Smooth taste of vanilla, apricot, caramel, rosemary and spearmint
Overall: Not a bad bottle from Clement, but it is a bit to smooth for me. When it comes to agricole I prefer my rum to have a bit more bite. It is however a very good entry bottle for people getting to know the style of agricole rum.

Light color, less alcohol to the nose, taste close to whiskey without any sweetness and little bit hard. Not a classical rum type for me

Fresh sweetnees in the nose.
Not too woody at all. Hints of roast and raisins.
More an 7.8
Better than expected

Pending tasting notes. Remember it being smooth. Flavors are mellow. Oak and grass are predominant.

Duft af røde bær. Smagen er sød, dog med et hint af fad, som giver en lidt tør smag. Meget kirsebær i finishen, som trækker op i det samlede indtryk. (16. December 2019 i 1423)

Very light on nose with smoke and on taste reminds on whiskey. Nice rum.

Not a bad agricole:
Nose: typical agricole with some oak and hints of hay
Palate: sharp, harsh, but also some interesting vanilla sweetness.

Hladsi Agricole rum od znamej značky Clement. Mal pekne náznaky ovocnej chuti a zároveň bol mierne ostrejší čo k agricole rumom patrí. Neoslnil,no neurazil

Normal agricole with grassy tone as expected on a pleasant aged rum background.

I'm still learning to appreciate Agricole rhums but this one was a nice introduction. While not quite good enough for a sipper it's definitely nice enough for a mixer or a Ti Punch though a little expensive for that.
