RHUM CLEMENT - Single Batch - Blue Cane - 46.10%
The Clément house is one of the great historical references of Martinique agricultural rum, rooted at the Habitation du Simon in François where sugarcane is treated as a true noble plant. Since the late 19th century, the distillery has crafted precise and elegant rums, capable of expressing both the richness of the volcanic terroir and the freshness of the Atlantic trade winds. The blue cane variety, which has become emblematic, occupies a central place in this identity thanks to its particularly clear and expressive aromatic profile. Clément has established itself among enthusiasts as a trusted signature, blending Creole tradition, agricultural know-how, and contemporary standards. With single parcel, vintage, and limited editions, the house offers characterful rums that rival the great tasting spirits. Clément Single Batch Blue Cane 46.10 percent fits into this lineage as a sharp and modern interpretation of Martinique white rum.
Clément Single Batch Blue Cane 46.10 percent is made exclusively from pure juice of freshly pressed blue cane, harvested at optimal maturity from carefully selected parcels. Each batch corresponds to a limited release, crafted as a micro-cuvée to preserve the aromatic uniqueness of the vintage and the cane juice. The fermentation, short but perfectly controlled, allows the vegetal liveliness to be maintained while developing a beautiful complexity of primary aromas. The Creole column distillation offers a crystalline, very pure distillate that highlights the precision of the blue cane without heaviness or rusticity. The choice of a 46.10 percent alcohol level asserts the rum’s character, bringing breadth and length on the palate while remaining very clear in pure tasting. No sugar or additives are added, which places Clément Single Batch Blue Cane in a total transparency approach, focused on the raw expression of the Martinique terroir.
On the palate, Clément Single Batch Blue Cane 46.10 percent presents clear and bright, with an intense nose of fresh crunchy cane, lime, white flowers, and fine peppery notes. On the palate, the attack is frank and tonic, supported by a full-bodied matter where juicy cane juice, ripe citrus, fine herbs, and a saline hint recalling the maritime influences of the Atlantic coast mingle. The texture is straight but caressing, the perfectly integrated strength lengthening the rum without aggressiveness, with a beautiful energy through to the finish. The finish is long, clean, vibrant, dominated by cane, citrus zest, and a noble, very salivating bitterness, making it a great white rum for tasting. At the table or at the bar, Clément Single Batch Blue Cane lends itself to a precise ti punch, classic-style dry daiquiris, but also gastronomic pairings with sea bream ceviche, cod accras, grilled seafood, or spicy Creole cuisine. It also elegantly accompanies fresh goat or sheep cheeses and citrus desserts where its sharp freshness finds a natural echo.
