Old Brothers Clément VSOP Private Cask Collection
Opinions land all over the place on this one — some call it the most herbal rum they've ever tasted and mean it as a compliment, others found it too sharp to enjoy. It's a 52% Martinique agricole from Distillerie du Simon: wet grass, herbs, vanilla, and a run of fresh fruit (apples, orange, peaches) over a mineral, almost river-stone base. Light-bodied, oily, no real funk.
- Very herbal
- Unexpected fruit range
- Mineral, grassy character

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.
