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.

Key Features and Maturation Excellence

  • AOC Martinique XO: Strictly regulated production ensuring the rum is distilled from 100% fresh sugarcane juice and aged in the tropical climate of Martinique.

  • Complex Oak Integration: The blend utilizes various barrel types to create a harmony of American vanilla sweetness and French oak tannins.

  • 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.

  • 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.
