A single cane variety, grown for its own sake. Canne Bleue is Clément's tribute to a cane variety that's harder to grow, but that delivers a far more intense rum in return.
Expert Description
Clément Rhum Agricole Blanc Canne Bleue is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled exclusively from the blue cane variety and bottled at 50%.
Canne Bleue, or "blue cane", is an older and less widely grown variety than the more common cane typically used in rhum agricole. The variety is known for a lower yield and for being more sensitive to weather conditions, but in return it delivers a markedly more intense and aromatic juice. Clément has chosen to bottle this edition uncut at 50%, a higher strength than the house's standard Blanc, precisely to let the cane variety's full character shine through.
The result is a rum that's even sharper and more mineral than the classic Rhum Blanc Agricole, with an intensity that demands respect.

Did You Know?
The Canne Bleue variety is today grown only on select fields around Habitation Clément, because its low yield makes it economically less attractive than modern, more robust cane varieties, making this edition something of a rarity within rhum agricole.
