A single cask Martinique agricole from Clement, distilled from fresh cane juice and finished in Armagnac at a cask strength 55.9%, dark and woody with plum, coffee and chocolate over a roasted, tannic finish.
Description
Clement is a long established Martinique estate with a strong line in aged rum, and this entry from its Cask Finish Collection takes an agricole distilled from fresh pressed cane juice on a creole column and gives it time in an Armagnac cask. Bottled as a single cask at a full 55.9% from the 2018 vintage, it is unsweetened in keeping with the island's AOC rules, with close to five years behind it.
The brandy cask pulls the rum in a dark, autumnal direction. Toasted wood, plum and dried fruit lead the nose, and the palate is woody and roasted with coffee and chocolate, the French oak adding firm tannins and a touch of bitterness. The finish stays roasted and dry. The agricole backbone of wet oak and orchard fruit holds underneath, making this one for drinkers who enjoy wine and brandy finished cane juice rum at full strength.
