Clément Selection Exclusive (Batch 2)

What character! Perfectly balanced with excellent aromatic richness, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is of magnificent length. Edit of May 16, 2023: Still as charmed by this rhum vieux agricole as ever!

I just got two bottles of this limited release and I'd say it's pretty good. I scored this one a bit lower but price to quality is very good. Lightly fruity with spices and roasted wood in near perfect harmony. A well balanced rum and I recommend leaving the empty glass for a while and then whiff it again because that is a nice experience.

My favorite Clement so far, drinks dangerously well despite the complexity and scant 60%.

Round thing! Clear, but pleasant wood influence, alcohol very well integrated.In all respects clearly better than the parallel tasted Saint James Les Ephémeres No. 7. 😳Who still wants a bottle of the Clément barrel selected by Benoit Bail, should hurry, at least in Germany, for which only 42 bottles were provided.Buy and drink recommendation. 👍

Mal wieder ein Martinique Rhum…und ich muss sagen, dass mir die Insel und der Rhum immer besser gefallen

Excellent, attaque fruitée, évolution sur le chocolat noir pâtissier puis des notes empyreumes

Very nice, round Agricole with a good balance of wood, nut, caramel and floral notes.

Schöner rund. Holz, Nuss und florale Eigenschaften

I like that this agricole has a nice woody taste and isn’t too vegetal.

Was already excited about the Batch#2...very nice balance on the nose: young wood, herbs, caramel. Similar notes on the palate, plus some alcoholic spiciness (but everything still in the green zone). In the finish rather dry, and besides toasty, also the typical vegetal notes of young Agricole.

A more balanced, dry and authentic profile than Confrérie du Rhum's Batch 1. The nose is elegant and structured, with beautiful fruity notes (mango, apricots and raisins) and shimmering spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper). Woody, toasty, chocolatey and lightly caramelized notes lend smoothness and gourmandise. On the palate, the rum is more supple and varied in flavor than Batch 1, which was much more concentrated. While there's the typical woodiness and warm spices, honeyed flavors, yellow fruit, dried fruit and sugarcane counterbalance to broaden the aromatic spectrum. The alcohol is extremely well integrated. The finish is very long, with wood tannins, tropical fruit, raisins, sugarcane and spices. The warmth and spiciness come through on the finish. More open than Batch 1, but less explosive, this cuvée remains a worthy, high-quality successor to this Confrérie du Rhum special cuvee.

Guter gereifter Agricole. Am Gaumen prickelt es gut von Alkohol, stört mich aber nicht.

Exzellenter Agricole!!!

Magnifique réussite alliant complexité puissance et rondeur
