RHUM CLEMENT - White Rum - 1 Liter - 50%
L’Habitation Clément is ideally located in the heart of François, in Martinique, a land renowned for the exceptional quality of its agricultural rums. Founded in 1887 by the visionary Homère Clément, this iconic distillery draws its roots from a rich and authentic history. At a time marked by the sugar crisis, Homère Clément, then a highly respected mayor of the town, acquired the prestigious Domaine de l’Acajou, a 43-acre plantation recognized as one of the best on the island. Despite economic difficulties caused by the collapse of the sugar market, Clément transformed this agricultural estate into a pioneer of high-quality Rhum Agricole.
His innovative approach involved pressing freshly harvested sugarcane directly to extract an aromatic and flavorful juice, the essential base of a pure and refined rum. Inspired by his learning of distillation techniques from the great French Armagnacs, Homère Clément perfected a unique method, now synonymous with excellence: Martinican Rhum Agricole. The brand, now owned by GBH since 1986, continues this ancestral tradition by producing a rum of incomparable finesse. The original distillery, now converted into a museum, has given way to the Distillerie du Simon, neighboring François, where distillation continues followed by meticulous aging in the Clément cellars.
This exceptional White Rum is made from pure juice of carefully selected sugarcanes, guaranteeing an intense and natural aromatic profile. It is then stored in casks for at least 3 months before bottling, allowing it to develop subtle complexity and unique smoothness. Ideal for lovers of traditional agricultural rum, this Clément white rum embodies the authenticity and richness of the Martinican terroir.
