Clément Canne Bleue 2023 50° – red bottle

Introducing the red edition of Clément Canne Bleue vintage 2023. This version represents the water and coral found in the French West Indies.

This is an AOC Martinique agricultural rum made from a single variety of cane, cane bleue.
Distillation took place at the Simon plant from the 2023 harvest, which was particularly dry.

Although there are 2 other bottle formats, green and yellow, the rum is the same in all 3 bottles!

This white rum is ideal on its own, as a ti-punch or in a cocktail.

Nico's tasting notes

On the nose , we find a deeply vegetal and fermented rum, a distillate of character which does not point towards the stereotype of agricultural rum, which makes it all the more interesting. In the few ethereal flights caught on the first flight, there are some tangy treats.

Aeration delivers a more traditional sugar cane, always enriched with a few nuances of undergrowth, mushrooms, almost cereals (rice), always subtly, in small touches.

On the palate , we find the very singular character of this 2023 edition which turns to Japan and its rice or cane sugar brandies. Its typically earthy notes gradually rise towards an intense, solid cane, with peppery and even spicy bark.

The finish is garnished with citrus peels, whose bitterness maintains the freshness.

“A truly unique 2023 edition, which digs deep into fermented cane juice…”
