Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole Grappa

Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole Grappa is a fascinating blend of the Caribbean spirit of Martinique and the Italian tradition of grappa production. This exceptional agricole rum comes from the renowned Habitation Clément distillery, known for its authentic approach to producing rums from fresh sugarcane juice according to the strict AOC Martinique regulations.

After distillation, the rum ages for several years in American oak barrels, after which it undergoes a unique finish in barrels that previously held Italian grape. This unconventional aging process enriches the rum with intense aromatic notes reminiscent of the vinous elegance of Northern Italy – resulting in a bold, expressive, and fully aromatic distillate.

The aroma reveals notes of grape skins, dried fruits, caramel, almonds, and floral essences typical of grappa. The taste is rich, full, and complex – with a combination of sweet cane, grape distillate, nuts, honey, spices, and subtly smoky oak. The finish is long, warming, and intense, with a lingering trace of vanilla and wine character.

This high-proof rum 62.1% ABV is best enjoyed neat, in a tasting glass, ideally after a meal as a digestif. It is intended for true connoisseurs who appreciate experimental combinations and the fusion of Caribbean artistry with Italian soul.
