Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole VSOP 700ml

RHUM DISTILLED FROM FRESH SUGARCANE JUICE THAT HAS BEEN AGED IN OAK IN BARRELS NOT TO EXCEED 650 LITERS. IN MARTINIQUE, AGING REQUIREMENTS ARE AT LEAST 3 YEARS FOR A VO DESIGNATION, 4 YEARS FOR VSOP, 6 FOR XO, AND AT LEAST 6 FOR VINTAGE RHUMS. HORS D’AGE IS AGED BETWEEN 8-12 YEARS.

Clément VSOP starts off with whiffs of crème brûlée, baking spices, vanilla, and the unmistakable sweet vegetal aroma of cane juice. The palate is fresh and sweet with heaps of caramel, bananas, and coconut but also grassy basil and mint that fade into the peppery finish.

Clément VSOP is fantastic sipped but also makes a great spin on some familar cocktails. Sub it for the rye to make a killer old fashioned, try it in place of cognac in a vieux carré, or it goes without saying that this rhum sings in a Mai Tai.
