Clément Rhum Blanc

Clément Rhum Blanc hails from Martinique, a French Caribbean island, and its story begins in 1887 when Homère Clément purchased Domaine de l'Acajou. He is considered a pioneer of Rhum Agricole, a style made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses. The Clément brand itself was launched in 1940. The distillery, Habitation Clément, is renowned as the birthplace of Rhum Agricole and has a rich history, even hosting a Franco-American summit in 1991. Today, Clément rums are produced in strict adherence to the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for Martinique Rhum Agricole, a testament to their quality and traditional production methods.

Clément Rhum Blanc brings a fresh, grassy, and subtly floral character to your home bar, a hallmark of its Martinique rhum agricole origin, being distilled from fresh sugarcane juice. This makes it a vibrant player in cocktails like the classic Ti'Punch or a Daiquiri, lending a unique, clean vegetal note that differentiates it from molasses-based rums. Consider it for any mixed drink where you want that authentic, bright sugarcane flavour to shine through, adding a distinct personality to your cocktail ingredients lineup; Anders Erickson would surely appreciate its versatility.

Expect fresh sugarcane and grassy notes, with a hint of citrus and floral aromas like jasmine. The taste is clean, dominated by sugarcane with subtle green apple, lime, and white pepper, plus a touch of minerality. It finishes with a refreshing, medium length, balancing sweetness with a slight vegetal note and a whisper of tropical fruit and sea salt.
