Clément Très Vieux Cuvée l’Elixir
Here's the surprise: for a rum in such a dressed-up decanter, the nose promises more than the palate pays off. You get honey, sugarcane, orange peel and oak spice, a soft almost cognac-like body. Several tasters call it lovely on the nose but flat and short in the mouth. Wes Burgin found the marmalade-and-oak finish "very very good," just brief.
The community says- Rich, honeyed nose
- Smooth cognac-like body

How does Clément Très Vieux Cuvée l’Elixir taste?
Aggregated from 42 community reviews.
Honeyed, cognac-like agricole that runs short Aromatic and warming, with honey, orange and oak — but most agree the palate falls flat and the finish is short. A pretty bottle that divides opinion.

Nice compromise between Cuvée Homere and Cuvée de L’habitation. A bit dry.

Un joli emballage pour un rhum pas vraiment convaincant. Il existe beaucoup d’agricoles à moindre coût et plus intéressants. Cela dit c’est un rhum réussi mais il manque d’arômes diversifiés et de profondeur. Rapport qualité/prix assez mauvais.

#4969 11.12.2024 Enjoying a few samples at home celebrating that I have my diabetes under control. Got a lot of credits from my doctor being able to level out my 3 month bloodsugar extremely fast 😊 Nose Light wood, sweet, light, dried fruit, light caramel, spice, light honey, faint ginger. Palate Round, light, sweet, light wood, raisin, light grass, faint floral, light honey, light ginger, light orange. Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, faint floral, light apricot, light caramel. The empty glass has stronger floral notes and light licorice.

Après le canopée JM c'est vraiment plus plat. Au nez mais aussi en bouche. C'est mielleux et épicé mais c'est à peu près tout. Un peu décevant.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
The nose is richly aromatic, but on the palate it's already much flatter and the length is absent.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Too sweet.
Review by Dave Dahlgren
Väldigt len lite cognac aktig och små honung karamel vanilj ved. Värmande o trevlig

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →The finish is rich and warming with marmalade and oak spice which fades into a dry and woody finish. A touch short yes - but what is there is very very good. A hugely enjoyable expression of Agricole Rhum and easily one of the best I have tried so far.
