Dry, powerful cigar-pairing agricole Highly praised private cask agricole: powerful, dry and tobacco‑leaning with roasted wood, dried fruits and a long, characterful finish that shines alongside a cigar or slow sip.
Agricole fans who enjoy dry, tannic, oak- and tobacco-driven rums at higher ABV, especially those looking for a characterful cigar companion rather than a sweet dessert sipper.
Those sensitive to alcohol heat, beginners, and drinkers who prefer sweet, soft rums or dislike tannic, tobacco-forward profiles and very dry finishes.

Review by Oliver
Gleiches Profil wie der „Confrerie du Rhum“, aber deutlich intensiver und komplexer. Absoluter Top-Agricole!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4458 08.11.2023 I really like these private cask releases. Not only are they exciting but they can also be very different in the profile. This one is fresh and fruity with nice roasted wood. The palate is medium dry and velvety with fruits. The finish is long and dry with nice citrus. The empty glass has stronger chocolate notes as well as light nutts.
Review by Rare Akuma
This bottling has been aptly named “for cigarshops” because it was specifically made to be paired with a nice cigar, and not because it supposedly tastes extremely smoky. Let’s see. It presents itself densly packed with aromas and easily approachable. Something not necessarily atypical for Cléments. Immediate wafts of white coconut flesh and dried fruits leave the mouth watery. It smells sweet of vanilla icecream topped with crème fraîche, milky cappuccino, and a side of nougat. This dessert-like peace is disturbed by a slight volatility from a hint of vinegar. In the mouth an explosion of flavour and vastly different than expected, expressing itself in quite rare ways. Instant transportation to a 30°C midsummer night, somewhere in Northern Africa, on a sand swept rooftop and a starry sky overhead. Powerful release of tannins with old wine, medjool dates, grape leaves and dried fruits. Then a leafy sweetness evolving into vanilla incense and lightly smoky chamomile tea building up into more and more tobacco notes driving an exceptionally dry finish. Ends quite lengthy for its age with more grape leaves, slight wood and tobacco. It stays very dry throughout its finish.
Review by Werner10
A very nice agricole. Oaky and spicy flavors, a tiny bit roasted.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Tolle Nase aber geschmacklich dann etwas enttäuschend. Nicht allzu komplex und mir definitiv zu jung und noch zu scharf, der Alkohol könnte deutlich besser integriert sein und insgesamt ist mir diese Zigarren Tabak Note als Nichtraucher auch einfach etwas zu arg...
