Clément Select Barrel
People easing into agricole will find this an unusually gentle one — a 2-year Martinique from Clément that trades sharp sugarcane funk for vanilla, dried apple and young oak. Several tasters call out a smoky, almost campfire edge that either charms you or gets in the way. Milder and sweeter than most agricoles, it works neat but plenty of members reach for it in cocktails.
The community says- Vanilla and oak
- Smooth, easy sipping
- Low ABV

How does Clément Select Barrel taste?
Aggregated from 113 community reviews.
Mild, smoky agricole with vanilla and oak A crisp, wood-and-vanilla agricole most find pleasant but light. Some love the balance of blanc grassiness with barrel notes; others say the smoke masks the finer flavors and the ABV runs low.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall it’s a very kind Agricole, maybe too kind. The nose is fruity, pleasant and floral but weak with aroma of sugarcane. At the palate it’s sweet, fruity and smooth with flavors of vanilla, grass and sugarcane. The finish is short to medium and smooth.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.12.2018 Enjoying samples at home. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, light wood, sugarcane, faint floral, faint chocolate, light menthol, berries. Palate Light, floral, light wood, light roasted, sugarcane, light orange, faint leather, spice, light chocolate. Finish Short to medium, light wood, sugarcane, light honey, light leather, faint chocolate, berries.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Tasting neat my new supply for mixing. This is very smooth, smell of honey and citrus, refreshing minerality with pepperness and anise. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by abaker-rum
This aged agricole has a bit of the expected vegetal aroma on the nose, but it is mostly covered by wood, vanilla, and apple. The taste is smokey and toasted with a shorter finish that is woody with spice. It tastes a bit like wood and smoke are masking some of the finer flavors of the rum rather than enhancing them.

Pour cocktails, pur ce rhum n'a que trop peu d'intérêt
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose hits first with vanilla and the dried apple chips you get in cereal bars. There's also some grassy sugarcane, tobacco and faint young wood. The palate has the vanilla from the nose, keeping things sweet. Followed by old oak, the apple for the nose, more subtle this time. Peppery towards the end. The finish is mid length. Moving from a note of hay in a warm barn to smoke. Interesting. I don't dislike this. Not your usual agricole from Martinique. Sweeter, less sugarcane forward.
Review by Mateusz
Great rhum in my view! I love the Rhum blanc flavours and taste and it usually gets somewhat lost in aged rhums, but this keeps great balance of vanilla/barrel notes with grassy and floral notes of blanc. Recommend!
Review by Emil G.S. Munk
Very crisp agricole with a clear direction and style. A little low on ABV and the tasty is a little too weak but otherwise a very nice expression from Clément
Review by Solidfunk
Certainly smoother than the canne Bleu I just had. Dark copper pour. Rose water, dried apricot. Burns a little on the finish. Ok.
Review by Philipp F.
Beim Geruch sind für mich Früchte und Zuckerrohr ganz klar im Vordergrund, ich rieche saure Äpfel, Pflaumen und ganz klar Zuckerrohr. Gewürze vernehme ich her gar nicht, Hölzer wenn überhaupt nur eine leichte Sherryfassnote. Geschmacklich kommt er eher mild daher mit einer leicht rauchigen Note, ganz klar grasig, fruchtig und für mich sehr Nussig (Mandel/Bittermandel). Der Abgang ist im mittleren Bereich für mich, sehr angenehm, nussig und abermals die Sherryfassnote. Ich bin kein großer Fan von Agricole Rum, aber dieser hier ist wirklich sehr angenehm. Sowohl pur als auch als Mixer, vor allem für den günstigen Preis.

Plutôt dans des cocktails avec du sucré. Goût fumé mais un peu fade
Review by Jonas Kofod
Very smoked and earthy. Dry. Not my favourite in rum.
Review by Mickael Tourbot
Boisé, vanillé, bonne longueur en bouche, prix raisonnable, c'est mon meilleur rapport qualité/prix
Review by Boshuda
Clean, fruity, a tad grassy. Reminds me of Irish whiskey.

Au nez, un léger boisé poivré et de la vanille. En bouche le bois est jeune, c'est vanillé et assez frais.
Review by Anubis_CZ
Clément rum je elegantní agricole , vyráběný z čerstvé šťávy cukrové třtiny. Nabízí suchý, sofistikovaný profil s tóny vanilky, koření a lehce dřevitého závěru. Skvěle vyvážený, ideální k pomalému popíjení i prémiovým koktejlům.
Review by Sven.S
Not my cup of tea. Reminds me of campfires.
Review by MoMcGurk
Maybe a little cinnamon in the aroma. Less of an earthy flavor than I am used to with agricoles; and sweeter. The cinnamon did not follow through to the taste.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Smooth, short finish. Very herbal, what I would expect from an agricole. Slight odd aftertaste, can't quite pin down what it is. Could help brighten up a cocktail if needed.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →It is a "step up" in terms of complexity and sippability compared to unaged Agricole but maybe not a step far enough in order to truly be a sipper. More a premium mixer. Even then it perhaps misses some of the "funk" of white Agricole. A bit of a funny...
