Clément VO 3 ans is a blend of rums aged in new oak and bourbon barrels.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, this agricultural rum is still quite young and, above all, fresh. The slightly dried fruits have retained their freshness, mingling with the sap of freshly cut wood. As if in a sawmill, one imagines the light shavings flying out and perfuming the room.
With a little air, the wood brings out its tannins, which take on a grainy appearance. The rum's texture becomes thicker, with a greedy, nutty paste scented with dried fruits such as mango, apricot and papaya. A certain maturity has definitely set in.
On the palate, this is a lively rhum agricole. It oscillates between the fatness of mellow tannins that are close to peanut, and the lively, peppery bagasse of sugarcane. On taste buds still numbed by spices, an elegant woodiness draws its freshly discovered veins.
The finish leaves a little room for cane and its trusty lime zest.
"A young rhum agricole that already shows Martinique's full aging potential..."
