„Wow! For me the surprise from the #30daysofrum. Strong Agricole with dried fruits, almond pastry and - unusual for an Agricole - a lot of solvent. And that with 3 years maturity and for a measly 80€.... Megagood!“

„Blind tasting: what a nose! To fall in love! Very good and complex play of honey, cocoa, wood, fruit, vanilla and some tobacco. In the mouth spicy and again with lots of dark bitter flavors with wood, cocoa and some fruit. Then the spicy pungency lingers on the finish, with caramel, tobacco and fruit again peeking through with increased intensity. Top!“

„Pour un rhum de 3 ans d’âge, ce Clément dévoile un énorme potentiel. Fruit de la passion, fruits confits, abricot et raisin secs, chocolat au lait, crème brûlée, muscade, sucre brûlé, chêne et notes épicées et rôties se succèdent pour une expérience olfactive remarquable. Une réelle complexité et gourmandise se dégagent au nez. En bouche, on a un concentré d’arômes tout simplement explosif, très intense sur les épices, le bois et les notes toastées, rôties et torréfiées. Le profil est sombre mais très gourmand avec des notes de crème brûlée, de toffee, de chocolat au lait et de noisettes grillées. L’alcool est extrêmement bien intégré. La finale, chaude et un peu amère, balance toujours vers un profil sombre et sec, avec une légère influence agricole de verdure. On a ici un rhum équilibré, intense et élégant. C’est un superbe profil, complexe et savoureux, à un rapport qualité / prix imbattable. Difficile de faire mieux pour un rhum de seulement 3 ans.“

„Une belle surprise pour un rhum d’un peu plus de 3 ans. Le vieillissement en fût toasté y est sûrement pour quelque chose. Des notes de torrefaction, le tabac, le chocolat, mais aussi la réglisse, l’eucalyptus. Un côté boisé et quelques fruits tropicaux. Excellent rapport qualité prix !“

„Vraiment surprenant pour un clément. Il parait que c’est leur premier bdf. En tout cas c’est superbe. Belle couleur, au nez on sent un peu l’alcool, mais c’est tes léger. Par contre au goût, c’est très bien intégré. Explosion de saveur. Au top cette bouteille“

„Beaucoup de notes chocolatés au nez qui se mélange avec des notes de caramel et vanille lié au fût boisé. Après quelques mois d’ouverture une nouvelle dégustation me permet de sentir un aspect plus oxydatif avec du pruneau et de la cannelle associé à des raisins secs. En goût c’est agressif au départ mais attention il faut vraiment laisser bien aéré pour que la bouche soit plus ouverte. On retrouve alors la vanille et les notes de caramel brûlé comme une crème brulé. Après ouverture il y a quelques mois l’aération longue n’est pas autant nécessaire. La finale est difficile à définir mais on a un côté frais qui reste en bouche, légèrement mentholé, réglisse voir cacao amer.“
