Aroma visualization from community tastings
Clément Vieux 10 ans
The surprise here is the dryness: for a 10-year agricole, the sweet cane note hangs back and lets wood, tobacco and a herbal, vegetal edge lead. Several tasters find it sharp and a little sec up front, then dried fruit — apricot, marmalade — shows up late on the finish. Honey, vanilla and oak round it out. Elegant and balanced, if a touch unremarkable to some.

How does Clément Vieux 10 ans taste?
Aggregated from 82 community reviews.
Dry, woody Martinique agricole with late fruit Most see a well-aged, balanced agricole with tobacco, oak and late dried fruit. A calm, elegant sipper — some find it sharp, dry or a bit unsurprising rather than exciting.

Review by Dominik-84
Typical French style of rum Agricole. Nose: mild, smooth, only hints of fruit, cream and sweetness. Palate: Extravagant, herbal, subtle honey, typical vegetal notes of pure sugarcane distillate, hints of woody dryness, subdued fruits, creamy, silky mouthfeel. Finish: long and mellow, oaky, creamy. 42% ABV do not make it watery.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
25.09.2019 Had a nice meet up with friends at this nice hotel near the airport. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Fresh, spice, light wood, light tobacco, dried fruit, pineapple,. Palate Fresh, medium dry, wood, lightly spicy, orange, light licorice, spice. Finish Medium to long, wood, dried fruit, light orange, light vegetal, medium dry. I have since then emptied a few of these bottles and also picked up the 15 year old.
Review by Tim
Very tart and dry notes on the nose, only honey provides some contrast. Typical Agricole, but a bit thin. Full attack in the mouth: sharp, dry, herbal. In the finish, surprisingly, more fruit (apricot) and sweet sugar cane shines through again. Overall, however, the rum does not convince me.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
Very balanced and totally different from vsop standards
Review by Benoît Testagrossa
Notes très orienté miel/chêne/vanille. En bouche : vif, voire piquant, plutôt sec, végétal... On y retrouve un goût de noix/boisé. La douceur de la canne n'arrive pas immédiatement et en fin de bouche on est surpris de voir apparaître les fruits secs. J'approfondirai mon analyse dans une seconde dégustation.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 The woodiness comes through nicely, accompanied by almond, banana, vanilla and tobacco. 👄 The palate, a little dry and round, adds walnut, apricot, chocolate and spice. Medium finish.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Typical agricole notes. Sweet, fruity, grassy, but for me also somewhat unbalanced and spicy. Nevertheless, not a bad rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid Agricole. Beautifully complex with lots of fruit, for me personally in the finish just a little too bitter.

Très bon rhum... pour commence quo se laisse déguste...
