Clément Rare Cask Collection Robert Peronet 2016

Clément Rare Cask Collection Robert Peronet 2016 is a single-cask rhum agricole from Clément, the 300-year Martinique estate. Distilled from fresh-pressed cane juice on a Creole column still and drawn from a 2016 vintage, it sits in the estate's collector-leaning rare cask range and is bottled unsweetened within the island's AOC tradition.

Impressions of this bottling point to a pronounced wine-cask influence, a finish that leans firmly toward the cask rather than the spirit. Expect the grassy agricole core layered with the fruit and tannin of wine-cask maturation, drier and more savoury than a sweet molasses rum. Bottled at 43.5% from a single cask, it is a characterful, wine-influenced pour for neat sipping.
