Clément Private Cask (RA) 2015
Most enjoy its classic Clément orange-spice profile and dry agricole character, but criticize sharp alcohol, bitterness and limited complexity. Consensus: a good, not essential, private cask.
Agricole fans who like drier, woody profiles at cask strength and don’t mind a bit of roasted bitterness and spice, especially Clément drinkers wanting a slightly more powerful take.

How does this rum taste?
Dry, woody agricole with a firm edge
If you already enjoy Clément’s orange-spice style and want it drier and stronger, this fits—just expect some alcohol bite and a fairly straightforward profile rather than a fireworks bottle.
Beginners, those sensitive to sharp alcohol or bitter, herbal finishes, and shoppers expecting a very complex or sweet, easygoing sipper for the price.

Tasted at the 11th GRF and unfortunately not a bottling I need. Little character, despite the comparatively high alcohol content for an Agricole
Sehr schöner Clement mit ausgewogenen Agricole-Noten Braucht Luft, wird nach Oxidation in Glas und nach ein paar Monate offen in der Flasche wunderbar rund
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 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.
