Rhum Clement XO Vieux 70cl

Clément Rhum Vieux XO | 70cl

The Pinnacle of Martinique: A Masterpiece of Time and Terroir

The Clément Rhum Vieux XO is a prestigious and well-structured blend that represents the very best of Habitation Clément’s aging cellars. This exceptional spirit is a marriage of carefully selected "Extra Old" agricole rums, some of which have matured for over six years in a combination of charred Bourbon barrels and French oak casks.

Bottled at a slightly higher 42% ABV to better carry its profound aromatic complexity, this XO expression is a testament to the art of the blend. It moves beyond the vibrant grassiness of younger rhums into a realm of deep, woody elegance and spice. It is an "exceptional sipping rum" that demands serious attention from connoisseurs, offering a level of sophistication usually reserved for the finest cognacs.

Exceptional Structure: Known for its "chewy" and dense texture, providing a rich mouthfeel that evolves slowly on the palate.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Intense and multifaceted. Leading with toasted cocoa, mocha, and dried fruits (dates and prunes), followed by a floral hint of dried wildflowers.
- Palate: Deeply concentrated. Rich flavors of dark chocolate, gingerbread, and warm cinnamon are balanced by a sophisticated smoky oak character.
- Finish: Long and incredibly refined. It leaves a lingering trail of tobacco leaf, black pepper, and toasted hazelnuts.

Serving Suggestions

The Purist’s Pour: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass. Allow the rhum to breathe for a few minutes to unlock the deeper chocolate and spice aromas.
The "Prestige" Pairing: Exceptional when accompanied by a high-quality cigar or a piece of 70% dark artisan chocolate.
Gourmet Dessert: Pour a small measure alongside a warm spiced apple tart or a walnut cake to highlight the woody, nutty notes of the XO.
A Splash of Water: A single drop of room-temperature spring water can open up the floral and dried fruit notes if the oak feels too dominant.
