Rhum Agricole
Appearance
Crystal clear, as pure as a Caribbean wave breaking over the sand—inviting yet deceptively simple, hinting at the complexities beneath.
Nose
A lively bouquet of freshly crushed sugarcane, as if you’re standing in the middle of a Martinique cane field. Bright grassy notes dance with zesty lime and a subtle whiff of green apple. Delicate hints of jasmine and a soft vanilla whisper bring a touch of elegance to the otherwise bold profile.
Palate
The first sip is crisp and vibrant, with the unmistakable essence of fresh sugarcane leading the charge. It’s followed by a parade of green apple tartness, citrus zest, and a sprinkle of white pepper for a faint spicy kick. There’s also a minerality—like the memory of volcanic soil kissed by tropical rain—that anchors the sweetness.
Finish
The finish is clean, fresh, and medium in length. Sweet sugarcane lingers just long enough, balanced by grassy, vegetal notes and a faint echo of tropical fruit. It leaves you refreshed and intrigued, ready for the next sip.
The Soul of Martinique in a Glass
Rhum Clément Blanc is a love letter to Martinique, bottled. Made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, this rhum agricole delivers terroir in liquid form. The grassy, earthy notes reflect the volcanic soil of Mount Pelée, while the floral and citrus touches evoke the island’s lush, sun-drenched landscape.
Perfect for a Ti’ Punch, it’s also a revelation in a Daiquiri or Mojito, where its vibrant character can shine. This isn’t rum for blending into oblivion—it’s rum with a story, meant to be savored.
Fun Fact: The sugarcane used in Rhum Clément Blanc includes a rare variety called canne bleue (blue cane), known for its distinct flavor and deep connection to Martinique’s rum heritage.
