Clément

Since 1887, Rhum Clément has been produced according to the purest traditions and best practices inherited from Homère and Charles Clément.

Homère Clément, a doctor and mayor of Le François, bought the prestigious 43-hectare sugar plantation Domaine de L'Acajou and pioneered Rhum Agricole, a modern style of pure rum made directly from fresh, free-flowing sugar cane juice instead of the traditional molasses rum. Homère Clément establishes the distillery to meet the great need for alcohol during the First World War in 1917.

After the First World War, Charles Clément creates the Acajou brand and begins exporting rum to France. In 1940, the Clément brand was created and promotion began.
Rhum Clément is sold to the Hayot family, which remains close to the Clément family, in order to keep one of Martinique's truly great cultural treasures, Habitation Clément, in Martinique hands. The Hayot family continues to maintain the heritage, culture and passion of the Clément family.
