Clément Ambré

Clement Ambre is the amber tier of the Clement range, produced at Distillerie du Simon in Martinique from fresh sugar-cane juice rather than molasses. As an agricole it carries no added sugar, and the amber colour comes from a short spell in oak rather than the deeper years of a vieux, placing it as the lightly rested step between blanc and aged Clement.

The creole-column spirit keeps the cane character forward, here showing a fruity, woody nose with clear sugarcane and a touch of leather, then a spicy, earthy palate and a floral, roasted finish. At 40% it is mild and straightforward, with the fresh cane sitting plainly on nose and palate. Honest as a versatile everyday pour, it shows its strength most in a Ti Punch or a simple agricole cocktail, where the dry cane note carries cleanly.
