Clément Rhum Blanc
Clément Rhum Blanc is a Rum from the Clement Rhum brand hailing from Martinique.
What is Clément Rhum Blanc?
Clément Rhum Blanc is a pure expression of Martinique's terroir, crafted from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. This agricultural rum, or "rhum agricole," captures the essence of the island's volcanic soil and tropical climate, resulting in a spirit with grassy, floral notes and a distinctive minerality that sets it apart from traditional Caribbean rums. Interestingly, Clément Rhum Blanc played a crucial role in World War II when the U.S. Navy commandeered the distillery to produce high-proof alcohol for torpedoes and other military applications, showcasing the versatility and importance of this unique spirit beyond its role in cocktails and cuisine.
Why do we love Clément Rhum Blanc?
Clément Rhum Blanc stands out as a stellar example of Martinique's revered rhum agricole tradition, crafted from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses. This unique production method, combined with Clément's meticulous distillation process, results in a vibrant, grassy spirit that captures the essence of its terroir, offering cocktail enthusiasts a chance to experience rum's purest expression in their mixed drinks.
How do you drink Clément Rhum Blanc?
Clément Rhum Blanc shines in tropical-inspired cocktails, where its grassy, floral notes can truly blossom, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate its nuanced flavors. This versatile rhum agricole is perfect for balmy summer evenings, pairing beautifully with spicy Caribbean dishes or fresh seafood that complements its crisp, vegetal character.
Nose: Fresh sugar cane juice, grassy notes, and a hint of citrus zest. Light floral aromas reminiscent of jasmine and vanilla bean.
Palate: Clean and crisp with prominent sugar cane flavors. Subtle notes of green apple, lime, and white pepper. A touch of minerality adds complexity.
Finish: Medium-length and refreshing. Lingering sweetness balanced by a slight vegetal character. Faint tropical fruit notes and a whisper of sea salt on the tail end.
Clément Rhum Blanc is crafted from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses, adhering to the strict AOC Martinique regulations. After a swift fermentation process lasting just 24-36 hours, the liquid is distilled in a Creole copper column still, resulting in a vibrant, grassy spirit that beautifully captures the essence of its sugarcane origins.
