Rhum Clement Rhum Blanc Agricole
Rhum Clément Rhum Blanc Agricole is a vibrant and authentic white rum from Martinique that captures the essence of freshly pressed sugarcane. Crisp, aromatic, and expressive, it delivers bright citrus, grassy cane, and subtle tropical fruit notes with refreshing clarity. A cornerstone of Caribbean rum tradition, it is ideal for classic island cocktails like Ti’ Punch while also offering enough purity and character to enjoy neat.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Rhum Clément is produced at the historic Habitation Clément in Le François, Martinique, an estate founded in 1887 by Homère Clément, a key figure in establishing Martinique’s rhum agricole tradition. Today the distillery remains one of the island’s most respected producers of agricole rum.
Unlike most rum, which is distilled from molasses, rhum agricole is made directly from freshly pressed sugarcane juice. This production method preserves the natural grassy, herbal, and mineral character of the sugarcane, giving agricole rum its distinctive flavor profile.
The sugarcane used for Rhum Clément is grown in Martinique’s volcanic soils and harvested at peak ripeness. The cane is crushed shortly after harvesting to capture its fresh aromatic qualities before undergoing fermentation. The fermented juice is then distilled using a traditional Creole column still, the standard still type used for Martinique’s agricole rums.
After distillation, the rum is rested briefly in stainless steel tanks to allow the spirit to stabilize and integrate before bottling. The rum carries the AOC Martinique designation, ensuring strict regional standards governing sugarcane cultivation, fermentation, distillation, and production methods.
Rhum Clément Blanc is typically bottled at around 40% ABV, offering a clean and balanced expression of fresh cane character.
