Clement Rum

Clément is the Rhum Agricole that proves Martinique is the world's most important island for agricultural rum. Founded by a doctor on an old sugar plantation, Clément is today the crown jewel among the French Antilles' rum houses.

  • Clément Créole Shrubb D'Orange rum liqueur Martinique bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-8790

    Créole Shrubb is the house's take on an old Martinique tradition, where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for a full year, not just a couple of weeks.

    Expert Description

    Clément Créole Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with orange peel and bottled at 40%.

    The base is a blend of young and six-year-old cask-aged rhum agricole from Habitation Clément, which is combined and then aged with orange peels in 250-litre oak casks for a full year. That's an unusually long maceration period for a shrubb liqueur, giving the orange aromas time to penetrate deep into the rum before the blend is sweetened with natural cane syrup and bottled.

    The result is a liqueur where both the bitter and sweet sides of the orange come through, supported by a distinct spice profile from the long cask ageing.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Orange peel and acacia honey, with a hint of white pepper and green, herbal cane.

    Palate

    Rich orange and mandarin peel with white chocolate, vanilla and honey, carried by an enlivening black pepper.

    Finish

    Long, citrus-filled finish with herbal rum and a light hint of white pepper.

  • Clément Mahina Coco coconut rum liqueur Martinique bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-8789

    Three ingredients, one goal: capturing the taste of a fresh, young coconut on Martinique. Mahina Coco deliberately keeps it simple, where many other coconut liqueurs reach for artificial flavourings.

    Expert Description

    Clément Mahina Coco is a Martinique Coconut Rum Liqueur made from young coconuts, rum and cane syrup, bottled at 18%.

    The liqueur from Habitation Clément is built on just three ingredients: fresh, unripe coconut, the house's own rhum agricole and natural cane syrup. This minimalist approach stands in contrast to many international coconut liqueurs, which often use added flavourings to achieve a strong coconut taste. The name Mahina is Polynesian for "moon", a reference to the round, white coconut and to Martinique's tropical, island-inspired mood.

    The result is a round, natural coconut liqueur where the agricole-based rum can still be traced as a light, herbal undertone.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Strong, fresh coconut with tones of toasted coconut and freshly cut grass.

    Palate

    Round and sweet with roasted nuts and sweet, fresh coconut flesh, balanced by a light acidity.

    Finish

    Lingering with shredded coconut and a peppery hint from the underlying rum.

  • Clement Premiere Canne Rhum Agricole Martinique White Rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-18956

    First harvest, first pressing, first bottle. Première Canne is Clément in its most unprocessed form, a white rum that lets the sugar cane speak, without a single cask allowed to interfere.

    Expert Description

    Clément Première Canne is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled at 40%.

    The rum is distilled at the Fonds-Préville distillery, while ageing and bottling take place at the historic Habitation Clément in Le François. After distillation the rum rests for nine months in stainless steel before being brought down to drinking strength with volcanic spring water from Martinique's mountains and bottled without cask ageing.

    The name Première Canne, "first sugar cane", refers to the fresh, unprocessed style, where the soft floral notes and green, herbal character of the freshly harvested cane juice stand out clearly.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Soft fruit blossoms, yellow apple and citrus, complemented by greengage plum, herbal and fresh notes.

    Palate

    Cocoa bean, bittersweet chocolate and black tea meet fresh grass and beans, closing on a graceful, lightly caramelised finish.

    Finish

    Clean and lightly salty, reminiscent of manzanilla sherry or buttered popcorn.

  • Clément Rare Cask Collection 2002 Abraham single cask rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-87953

    Named after a person, not a place or a technique. Abraham is one of the individual casks in Clément's Rare Cask Collection, where each single cask gets its own name and its own story.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rare Cask Collection 2002 Abraham is a Martinique Rhum Agricole from a single cask, distilled in 2002, aged 15 years and bottled at 56.6%.

    The rum is column-distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément and has since rested 15 years in a single, selected cask, before being bottled undiluted as part of the house's Rare Cask Collection. The series is defined by each cask being allowed to stand alone and be bottled under its own name, in this case Abraham, rather than being blended with other casks, giving each release its own personality. 391 bottles were produced from this cask.

    After 15 years of maturation in Martinique's tropical climate, the rum has developed a deep complexity that sits far from the house's younger VSOP and XO editions.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fruity with liquorice and a mocha-like depth.

    Palate

    Complex with apple and a dry, structured body.

    Finish

    Long and dry, with a lingering hint of fruit and liquorice.

    Investment Potential

    Medium. As a single cask bottling of just 391 bottles from Clément's respected Rare Cask Collection, with 15 years of maturation behind it, this is a rare edition that's hard to find in comparable quality and cask strength.

    Did You Know?

    Each cask in the Rare Cask Collection is given its own personal name rather than an ordinary cask number, a practice that underlines how Clément regards every individual cask as a unique, distinct experience rather than just part of a larger production.

  • Clement Rare Cask Collection 2002 Angelique Single Cask Martinique Rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-1787

    One cask, one vintage, 380 bottles. The Rare Cask Collection is where Clément lets a single, chosen barrel speak for itself, without blending it into the house's larger, better-known series.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rare Cask Collection 2002 Angelique is a Martinique Rhum Agricole from a single cask and bottled at 53.4%.

    The rum was distilled in 2002 at the Clément distillery at Habitation Clément in Le François, Martinique, from fresh sugar cane juice on column stills following the classic Rhum Agricole method. After more than 15 years of ageing, the cask, named Angelique, was bottled as a standalone single cask release with a total outturn of just 380 bottles, making it one of the rarest releases in the Rare Cask Collection.

    As a Rhum Agricole, the base is fresh-pressed cane juice rather than molasses, giving a greener, more herbal and citrus-driven character than most molasses-based rums, a style that becomes even more pronounced after such extended ageing.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Classic agricole character with mint and pineapple that unfolds slowly in the glass.

    Palate

    Fresh with grass and citrus, carried by the persistent agricole character of the fresh cane juice.

    Finish

    Clean and lightly dry, where the citrus lingers long after the initial sweetness has settled.

  • Clément Canne Bleue Rhum Agricole Blanc Martinique Rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-8385

    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.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Exotic fruit mixed with orange blossom, softened by light honey, along with pink pepper, green apples and fresh cane juice.

    Palate

    Lively, dry and powerful with lime, herbs, white pepper and mineral freshness, supported by meringue and cucumber.

    Finish

    Long and clearly structured, with earthy and herbal nuances and a tingling pepper.

    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.

    Item no.: 22227865449-189578

    No barrels, no waiting. Clément Blanc Agricole goes from cane field to bottle in under a day, preserving a raw, green freshness that few rum styles can match.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rhum Blanc Agricole is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh cane juice and bottled at 40%.

    The rum is produced at the Habitation Clément distillery in Le François, Martinique, one of the island's oldest and most respected distilleries, founded in 1887 by Homère Clément. The cane is harvested and pressed the same day, after which the juice is fermented and column-distilled within hours, a method at the heart of the AOC Martinique classification. The rum rests briefly in steel tanks after distillation, with no cask ageing, so the green, herbal character of the cane is preserved intact.

    This unaged style is the backbone of the classic Ti' Punch and is used across Martinique as an everyday drink.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh and green with pronounced cane juice, lemongrass and a hint of white pepper.

    Palate

    Clean and sharp with green cane, lime and a mineral, slightly saline undertone.

    Short and dry, with a lingering herbal freshness.

    Item no.: 22227865-54786

    Named after the distillery's founder Homère Clément, this Hors d'Age cuvée gathers the cellar master's favourites from the past fifteen years into the top marque of the house's Cellar Master's Selection series.

    Expert Description

    Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole Cuvee Homere is a Martinique Rhum Agricole with no age statement, a blend of rhum aged 7 to 15 years, bottled at 44%.

    The rum is distilled from fresh sugar cane juice at the Fonds-Préville distillery on Martinique and carries the official AOC Martinique designation, guaranteeing every stage of production. After open-tank fermentation with French baker's yeast for 24 hours, the rum is distilled on a Creole copper column still, after which the cellar master selects his favourite distillates from the past fifteen years, aged in French Limousin oak barrels and re-charred bourbon barrels. The name honours Homère Clément, the distillery's founder.

    The result is a velvety, complex rhum, where spiced oak meets dried tropical fruit and roasted nuts.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Sugar cane, oily nuts, dried fruit like raisin, banana, plum and quince, creamy butter and clean spice.

    Palate

    Velvety waves of spiced oak and dried tropical fruit.

    Item no.: 22227865449-18962

    Select Barrel is Clément's take on an entry point into the older agricole rums, neither fully young nor fully old, but exactly the spot where cane and oak meet in good balance.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole Select Barrel is a Martinique Rhum Agricole selected from particularly characterful casks and bottled at 40%.

    Like the other Vieux expressions from Clément, the rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François, then aged in French oak casks under Martinique's tropical climate. Select Barrel differs in that the finished product is assembled from casks chosen specifically for their balance of fruit, spice and wood, a process that gives a more approachable and softer style than the more uncompromising VSOP.

    The result is a rum that retains the green, herbal cane character but with a rounder, more relaxed presentation thanks to the careful cask selection.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Soft vanilla and light caramel, with cane and a touch of tropical fruit in the background.

    Palate

    Round and lightly sweet with brown sugar, mild spice and a fresh herbal core.

    Finish

    Short to medium, soft and slightly dry, with a closing hint of cane.

    Item no.: 22227865449-18960

    From green and sharp to deep and round. Clément VSOP shows what French oak can do for a rhum agricole when it's given at least four years to settle.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole VSOP is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged at least four years in French oak casks and bottled at 42-45%.

    The rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François and then aged under Martinique's tropical sun, where evaporation is far faster than in a colder climate. The tropical climate forces the rum to absorb colour and flavour from the oak in a shorter time, giving VSOP surprising depth for its age. The casks have often previously held cognac or other French spirits, adding a light winey character to the agricole's typically green base.

    The result balances the raw, herbal cane character with dried fruit, spice and a soft wood sweetness.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dried fruit and light vanilla, with a lingering hint of cane and freshly planed wood underneath.

    Palate

    Round and spiced with brown sugar, toasted oak and a hint of apricot.

    Because of Martinique's tropical heat, far more rum evaporates from the casks each year than in Scottish or Irish climates, the so-called "angels' share", meaning rhum agricole matures faster and more intensely than whisky of the same age.

    Item no.: 22227865449-311

    Half new, half charred Limousin oak. Clément XO is the expression where the house goes furthest with its cask selection, and where the result moves far from the green, young agricole style.

    Expert Description

    Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole XO is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged at least six years in French Limousin oak casks and bottled at 42%.

    The rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François and then aged in a combination of casks, half of which are brand new and the other half heavily charred on the inside. This two-part cask strategy is at the heart of XO's character, where the new casks add spice and vanilla sweetness while the charred casks provide a deeper, smoky wood structure.

    The combination of the two cask types over at least six years produces a rum markedly more complex than the house's younger VSOP, with a richness that approaches cognac in its elegance.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Ripe apples and true cinnamon, accompanied by a discreet smoky note of charred wood, complemented by honeysuckle, candied orange peel and vanilla with hints of clove, black tea, nuts and dark chocolate.

    Palate

    Very elegant with vanilla, liquorice and white pepper.

About Clément

Clément produces rhum agricole using the French method, distilling from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving it a far more aromatic, green, and freshly fruity character than most Caribbean rum. The range spans from the cocktail-friendly rhum blanc to old vintages and rare single casks, making Clément equal parts everyday bottle and collector's item.

History & Background

Homère Clément, a local doctor, bought the Domaine l'Acajou plantation in 1887 at a time when the dominance of sugar beet threatened Martinique's sugarcane economy. He chose to bet on distillation rather than sugar production, inspired by the French brandies he'd encountered as a young student in Paris, thereby founding what is today known as Distillerie du Simon.

Production & Style

Unlike molasses-based rum, the cane is pressed fresh and fermented and distilled within 24 hours to preserve aromatic compounds that would otherwise be lost. Distillation happens in column stills, and the rum is bottled without added sugar, while the age on every bottle is always exactly as stated.

Signature Style

Green, Fruity, Cane-Forward
The flavor offers a green, fresh fruitiness with a distinct touch of raw sugarcane juice and a light vegetal spiciness.
