Aroma visualization from community tastings
Clément 1952
Here's the surprise: 39 years in the tropics didn't turn this into an oak bomb. It's creamy and intense for just 44%, leaning wood, chocolate, caramel and dried fruit, with the grassy agricole edge nearly faded out. A few tasters wished for more punch and more complexity, but most found it round, elegant and remarkably alive for its age.

- Elegant and mature

How does Clément 1952 taste?
Aggregated from 43 community reviews.
Old, elegant Martinique agricole, wood-forward Loved as a piece of liquid history — creamy, mature and wood-forward. The honest catch: some find it a touch thin and simpler than its age suggests, and a few wanted higher ABV.

Review by Buddudharma
Ein Privileg, einen Rum wie diesen probieren zu können. Sehr intensiv und cremig für den niedrigen ABV, dabei sehr reif und holzlastig, nahezu ohne typische Agricole-Noten. Komplexität könnte ausgeprägter sein, ansonsten aber ein sehr schöner Rum.
Review by Oliver
A fluid story. Round and elegant. Really great, creamy finish.

tasty, nice digestif, well…
Review by Leo Tomczak
Falls die Flasche echt war, dann sehr unbeeindruckend. Für knappe 40 jahre tropische Lagerung bekommt man einen leichten Agricole mit wenig Komplexität aber viel Balance. Könnte auch ein guter XO oder VSOP sein. Konnte nichts außergewöhnlich Gutes an dem Rum feststellen.
