Clément Select Barrel
People easing into agricole will find this an unusually gentle one — a 2-year Martinique from Clément that trades sharp sugarcane funk for vanilla, dried apple and young oak. Several tasters call out a smoky, almost campfire edge that either charms you or gets in the way. Milder and sweeter than most agricoles, it works neat but plenty of members reach for it in cocktails.

- Smooth, easy sipping

How does Clément Select Barrel taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Mild, smoky agricole with vanilla and oak A crisp, wood-and-vanilla agricole most find pleasant but light. Some love the balance of blanc grassiness with barrel notes; others say the smoke masks the finer flavors and the ABV runs low.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall it’s a very kind Agricole, maybe too kind. The nose is fruity, pleasant and floral but weak with aroma of sugarcane. At the palate it’s sweet, fruity and smooth with flavors of vanilla, grass and sugarcane. The finish is short to medium and smooth.
Review by Timo Groeger
Caribbean vacation September 2026. Shop Boutique Saturne in Martinique. In our last destination, there is still a well-stocked liquor store. Here, another average Agricole. Also fresh and vanilla again.
Review by Yann Thom
For cocktails, this rum has too little interest neat.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.12.2018 Enjoying samples at home. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, light wood, sugarcane, faint floral, faint chocolate, light menthol, berries. Palate Light, floral, light wood, light roasted, sugarcane, light orange, faint leather, spice, light chocolate. Finish Short to medium, light wood, sugarcane, light honey, light leather, faint chocolate, berries.
Review by abaker-rum
This aged agricole has a bit of the expected vegetal aroma on the nose, but it is mostly covered by wood, vanilla, and apple. The taste is smokey and toasted with a shorter finish that is woody with spice. It tastes a bit like wood and smoke are masking some of the finer flavors of the rum rather than enhancing them.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Tasting neat my new supply for mixing. This is very smooth, smell of honey and citrus, refreshing minerality with pepperness and anise. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by Anubis_CZ
Clément rum is an elegant agricole, made from fresh sugarcane juice. It offers a dry, sophisticated profile with notes of vanilla, spices and a slightly woody finish. Great balance, ideal for slow sipping and premium cocktails.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose hits first with vanilla and the dried apple chips you get in cereal bars. There's also some grassy sugarcane, tobacco and faint young wood. The palate has the vanilla from the nose, keeping things sweet. Followed by old oak, the apple for the nose, more subtle this time. Peppery towards the end. The finish is mid length. Moving from a note of hay in a warm barn to smoke. Interesting. I don't dislike this. Not your usual agricole from Martinique. Sweeter, less sugarcane forward.
Review by Mateusz
Great rhum in my view! I love the Rhum blanc flavours and taste and it usually gets somewhat lost in aged rhums, but this keeps great balance of vanilla/barrel notes with grassy and floral notes of blanc. Recommend!
Review by Emil G.S. Munk
Very crisp agricole with a clear direction and style. A little low on ABV and the tasty is a little too weak but otherwise a very nice expression from Clément
Review by Solidfunk
Certainly smoother than the canne Bleu I just had. Dark copper pour. Rose water, dried apricot. Burns a little on the finish. Ok.
Review by MoMcGurk
Maybe a little cinnamon in the aroma. Less of an earthy flavor than I am used to with agricoles; and sweeter. The cinnamon did not follow through to the taste.
Review by Philipp F.
In the smell, for me fruits and sugarcane are clearly in the foreground, I smell sour apples, plums and clearly sugarcane. I don't perceive spices here at all, wood if at all only a slight sherry cask note. On the palate it is rather mild with a slightly smoky note, clearly grassy, fruity and for me very nutty (almond/bitter almond). The finish is medium for me, very pleasant, nutty and again the sherry cask note. I'm not a big fan of Agricole rum, but this one is really very pleasant. Both neat and as a mixer, especially for the affordable price.
Review by Jul Afray
Rather in cocktails with something sweet. Smoky taste but a bit bland.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Very smoked and earthy. Dry. Not my favourite in rum.
Review by Sven.S
Not my cup of tea. Reminds me of campfires.
Review by Morgan Garet
On the nose, a slight peppery woodiness and vanilla. On the palate, the wood is young, it's vanilla-flavored and quite fresh.
Review by Mickael Tourbot
Woody, vanilla, good length on the palate, reasonable price, it's my best value for money
Review by Boshuda
Clean, fruity, a tad grassy. Reminds me of Irish whiskey.

Review by Tyler Griffith
Smooth, short finish. Very herbal, what I would expect from an agricole. Slight odd aftertaste, can't quite pin down what it is. Could help brighten up a cocktail if needed.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›It is a "step up" in terms of complexity and sippability compared to unaged Agricole but maybe not a step far enough in order to truly be a sipper. More a premium mixer. Even then it perhaps misses some of the "funk" of white Agricole. A bit of a funny...
