Clement XO 6-Year

Tried this on a run festival. Nice good taste Even though I would have liked it more with some grassy notes

I've had a number of agricoles, and haven't been overly impressed with any of them... until I tried this. This is a complex rhum, which smells of oak, toffee, honey, tobacco, sugar, brown sugar, and a light peppery spice. Taste is equally complex. It's a bit strong at 44%abv, but rhums this good should be a bit stronger, without any water or ice to take away from their goodness. If you're not an agricole fan (which I'm not), I'm guessing you'll really like this one anyway.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/5/19. Aroma has a bit of diacetyl, but the flavor is buttery toffee. A bit metallic. Remarkably smooth. Slight pepper. Some citrus. Mild whimpering finish.

Jeg var fornyelig til romsmagning med Mads Heitmann fra romhatten.
Denne var den anden rom vi smagte.
En dejlig Agricole rum med noter af eg - karamel og lakrids.

A balanced spirit with a smooth flavour. Worthy of another!

Extremely smooth with a finish of lemon grass! Great find at Kin in Gainesville, FL.

First of all, the bottle and packaging are sublime. The nose one opening is very rich. Dried fruits, Vanilla, brown sugar, but the taste is doesn't offer as much as the nose. It falls short a little.

My first whiff was of paint. It is nice and dry, a little dusty too. And the taste is nice and long. But for some reason I just don't love sipping it. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pour it out... I do like it, but it hasn't changed my life.

CLÉMENT RHUM VIEUX AGRICOLE XO

ORIGIN: Martinique
AGEING: Minimum of 6 years in oak casks

NOTES: Complex basic rum. Standard whisky drinkers might enjoy this one more. For me a bit too pricy for wat you get.

SCORE: 7,5

Un bon rhum, comme Clement sait en faire, très fruité au nez ainsi qu'en bouche. Le boisé est en retrait par rapport au fruit. Mais fini un peu court.
