Size:�700ML Proof:�84 (42%ABV) Origin: Martinique Distillery: Cl�ment A 2002 vintage rhum agricole from the fabulous Cl�ment over on Martinique! After it was distilled from sugar cane juice, this particular expression rested in French oak for many moons, until it was bottled up at 42% ABV. Some wonderful toasty oak notes to be found alongside the sweet, grassy flavours of the sugar cane. Nose: Its 1st nose presents very roasted notes (chocolate, coffee) accompanied by fatty, buttery, vanilla notes evoking gourmet notes of mocha. Palate: On the palate, the empyreumatic and fruity notes open out powerfully, and linger on delicately woody notes, evoking a cigar box. Finish:�Long and strong finish. Rhum Agricole is produced in the French Antilles. Rather than distilling molasses - essentially a by-product of sugar production - whole sugar canes are juiced and then fermented. This method is not dissimilar to the production of Cognac. One can further draw parallels between the two eaux-de-vie; both boast their own Appellation d�Origine Contr�l�e and can claim a unique terroir. Martinique was a hub for sugar production during the late 1800s and a chief exporter to Europe. The sugar was of the highest quality, though Martinique was eventually out-produced by the South and Central American plantations. The Europeans began importing the cheaper sugar from the mainland and many Martiniquean plantations were put out of business. In a bid to provide work for the local populace, the mayor of Le Fran�ois, Hom�re Cl�ment, acquired the Domaine de l�Acajou plantation and focussed on garnering the crop for spirit production. In true entrepreneurial style, Cl�ment imitated the methods of Cognac production, creating rhum agricole, and he is widely reputed to be rhum agricole�s spiritual patriach. The Cl�ment range of rhums agricole uses Cognac grading; there are both VSOP and XO expressions.
