Old Brothers Clément VSOP Private Cask Collection
Opinions land all over the place here: some call it the most interesting rum they tried at a bottle sale, others found it just too herbal and sharp to enjoy. It's a 4-year Martinique agricole from Distillerie du Simon, bottled by Old Brothers — light, oily, and grassy, with apples, orange, faint honey, licorice and a mineral, "wet grass" edge. Don't expect esters or funk.

The look inside the bottle
How does Old Brothers Clément VSOP Private Cask Collection taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Herbal, grassy agricole with mineral edge Divisive agricole. Fans find it herbal and full of atypical fruit; others say it runs too sharp and grassy. Little funk, short finish — an intriguing but not universally loved pour.

Review by Rare Akuma
Round and elegant on the nose, lush with atypical fruits. Top note of sour orange juice blending into overripe peaches and a lovely honeydew sweetness. Then it turns mineral: pebbles, river and lots of seasalt. And eventually a base of uncut wet grass and milky cereal. In the mouth there’s a lot going on in terms of fruits, without getting overly funky. Don’t expect esters here. I get pineapple juice, berrymix and sliced apple, but I think it’s perfectly reasonable to discover 15 other fruits. Lots of fructose. Quite mineral with a very distinct river note, followed by more uncut grass, herbs and a smoked tail. Light and very short finish with more minerals and grass. Quite an unfortunate end to an otherwise pretty good expression.

Very sharp in the nose. Very sharp taste. Tastes a little like apples. Too sharp
