How does this rum taste?
Clément Private Cask (Rum Artesanal) is a limited edition rum from Martinique, distillerie du Simon, distilled in 2015 and aged for nearly six years. Bottled at cask strength 55.5% ABV, this spirit features a complex aroma of vanilla, orange, and wood, complemented by floral and cinnamon notes. On the palate, it offers a blend of vanilla and roasted flavors with hints of cinnamon, wood, and orange. Some users note that the alcohol is not well-integrated, and suggest that better options may exist for the price. This agricole rum stands out for its character but falls short of being exceptional, with a finish described as short and dry, and an overall experience that could be more rounded and satisfying.

Nice Agricole with decent power and roasted flavors. The alcohol could be about better integrated.
While I appreciate the comparably higher ABV, it’s just a little to present. Definitely more on the dark side of notes. Not bad but not overly complex tbh.
A thoroughly successful Clement, but the very present alcoholic note bothers me! The PLV is not balanced for me; there are better Clements a little cheaper! Today for the 2nd time in the glass... it remains the same, the alcohol is simply not well integrated, too bad!
A Clément selected by Rum Artesanal. The nose is quite soft, well chiselled and carried by notes of sugar cane, candied fruit, then coconut, dried apricot and orange burst into the nostrils. Oak, coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon bring a good dose of greediness, while aromatic herbs, flowers and tobacco bring a touch of freshness. The attack on the palate is rougher and more intense, with woody and roasted notes, before bitterness sets in through a vegetal and herbaceous influence that spoils the pleasure. Tobacco, pepper and dried fruit leave a warm frame on the palate. Orange lingers in the background. The finish, dry, bitter, woody and agricultural, is rather abrupt and characterful. The last memory on the palate is not the most pleasant. We were entitled to expect more from this special cuvée, which is delicate on the surface but rougher once opened.
