Clément VO

One member calls it "a good rum for a small budget, but way too young" — and that sums up the split. Expect a woody, spice-forward young agricole with dried fruit and a light touch of vanilla, but a thin body and a short finish. Several find it a fine first step into agricole; others say it reads too green and a bit sharp for its 40%.

Woody, young entry-level agricole Most see it as a decent, wood-driven entry agricole with good value. The catch: it's young and thin, the finish fades fast, and a few taste it as sharp and green.

Al naso legno, agrumi, zucchero bruciato, frutti secchi, spezie e vaniglia. Al palato è dolce con frutti secchi (datteri), noccioline, legno, un lato vegetale e qualche spezia dolce. Finale breve e dolce con un po' di pepe

No. Spend the extra coin and buy the VSOP. Don’t bother with this. That includes cocktails. That slight extra age makes a huge difference.

Got this 5cl sample from the Rum Ratings Tasting Club. Clément VO 3yo is a blend of rums aged in new oak barrels and former bourbon barrels. The finish is medium long with tastes of cane and lime besides the tastes from the palate. Overall a typical young AOC rum.

Nice for a first approach to farming. I liked it in ti-vieux too. Edit: for 24€ in a supermarket in mainland France, you get something that's worth a hundred times as much as a diplomatico or a bumbu.

This Clément VO is a very respectable agricultural rum for its moderate price. An easy-to-find bar essential. On the nose, the woodiness is clearly evident. On the palate, the woodiness is also predominant, with spicy and bourbon notes. The rather short finish is dominated by wood and sweet spices.

Lovely gourmet nose of confectionery. Quite mineral on the palate, but a little too light. The greediness promised on the nose is far too reduced for my taste. Moreover, there's not much left in the way of length. A nice rum to pair with very light cigars. Too bad it lacks a bit of wattage, otherwise it would be very, very nice...

Le Simon is Martinique's ghostwriter. It is the island's most technologically advanced distillery, yet it sells no rum under its own name, runs no public tours, and ages nothing on site. Instead it distils two of the most beloved names in Martinique agricole, HSE and, until recently, Clement, on stills moved here from their original homes. What you taste as HSE is, in fact, Le Simon.
