Charles Hofer Clément Rare cask collection 2002
Sipped neat is where this one belongs — at nearly 53% the alcohol sits remarkably well-integrated, so it drinks milder and rounder than the proof suggests. Expect spice-led wood, licorice, vanilla and a touch of glue up top, then a malty, roasted palate with cocoa and dark dried fruit. Several tasters note how much it drinks like a whisky rather than a grassy agricole.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">A long-aged Martinique agricole most drinkers rate highly for its spicy, roasted, whisky-like character.

Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è elegante e intenso, con legno nobile, frutti rossi (ciliegie), frutta secca, agrumi, floreale, un tocco di smalto e un po' di pelle giovane mista a liquirizia e vaniglia. Una delizia. Al palato è pungente con pepe, frutti secchi (albicocche), frutti rossi (ciliegia), agrumi, legno nobile, leggera pelle/tostatura, alcune spezie e sul finale persistente una nota dolce e lieve di torrone che arrotonda il tutto. Grazie a Roberto

01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 A great Agricole with very good balance. The palate is medium dry with a fruity touch. The finish is medium to long with a nice grassy note.
Review by Johannes
Really good! I love that tropical sweetness that comes from the wood!
Review by Daniel
Nose: Spice predominates, licorice, vanilla but also tobacco and notes of glue. Palate: Malty, roasted aromas at the beginning, wood and notes of cocoa or dark chocolate. Fruit discreetly in the background. Very mild and round. Finish: Malty and slightly herbal Conclusion: wonderfully balanced alcohol content in a spicy rum that is strongly reminiscent of a whisky. Delicious drop.
Review by Jakob
Ein Release, dem man die lange Teifung bereits anmerkt. Klassische Eleganz des typischen Clement-Profils gepaart mit Fassnoten, röstiger Würzaromatik und angenehmer Aromatik getrockneter Früchte. Hohes Niveau.
