Aroma visualization from community tastings
Clément VO
One member calls it "a good rum for a small budget, but way too young" — and that sums up the split. Expect a woody, spice-forward young agricole with dried fruit and a light touch of vanilla, but a thin body and a short finish. Several find it a fine first step into agricole; others say it reads too green and a bit sharp for its 40%.
The community says- Good value
- Woody and spiced
- Thin body

The look inside the bottle
How does Clément VO taste?
Aggregated from 174 community reviews.
Woody, young entry-level agricole Most see it as a decent, wood-driven entry agricole with good value. The catch: it's young and thin, the finish fades fast, and a few taste it as sharp and green.

Al naso legno, agrumi, zucchero bruciato, frutti secchi, spezie e vaniglia. Al palato è dolce con frutti secchi (datteri), noccioline, legno, un lato vegetale e qualche spezia dolce. Finale breve e dolce con un po' di pepe

No. Spend the extra coin and buy the VSOP. Don’t bother with this. That includes cocktails. That slight extra age makes a huge difference.
Review by Stefan Persson
Got this 5cl sample from the Rum Ratings Tasting Club. Clément VO 3yo is a blend of rums aged in new oak barrels and former bourbon barrels. The finish is medium long with tastes of cane and lime besides the tastes from the palate. Overall a typical young AOC rum.

Franchement j'adore, c'est tonique et punchy.
Review by Vincent D
Nice for a first approach to farming. I liked it in ti-vieux too. Edit: for 24€ in a supermarket in mainland France, you get something that's worth a hundred times as much as a diplomatico or a bumbu.
Review by Air-one
This Clément VO is a very respectable agricultural rum for its moderate price. An easy-to-find bar essential. On the nose, the woodiness is clearly evident. On the palate, the woodiness is also predominant, with spicy and bourbon notes. The rather short finish is dominated by wood and sweet spices.
Review by Wernie
Französischer Supermarkt Agricole. Nase leicht fruchtig/ blumig und frisch. Am Gaumen viel Holz, sehr alkoholisch für seine 40%, dünn und würzig.
Review by Gregor
Very nice nose For Agricole not really typical but then in the taste then very green

Doux en bouche
Review by ElReyTristan
Lovely gourmet nose of confectionery. Quite mineral on the palate, but a little too light. The greediness promised on the nose is far too reduced for my taste. Moreover, there's not much left in the way of length. A nice rum to pair with very light cigars. Too bad it lacks a bit of wattage, otherwise it would be very, very nice...

Rhum à shooters. Comestible mais sans plus.

Un bon V.O avec un rapport Q/P très satisfaisant.

Nicht mein Geschmack, eher Mittelmaß.

Review by Marcus Thelen
Ich finde ihn nicht sehr typisch nach einem Agricol schmeckend. Klebrig auf der Zunge. Scharf und sprittig. Nicht mein lieblings Rum.
Review by PassionRhumYT
Un très bon rapport qualité/prix pour commencer à aimer les rhums agricoles.
Review by Chris2000
Un rhum agricole de Martinique de 1er prix, très courant en grande surface. Vraiment ce n'est pas un bon rhum, c'est un rhum qui peut faire fuir les gens des rhums agricoles et définitivement de la marque Clément. Je n'ai pas trouvé de goût interessant, c'est boisé et salé à la rigueur, aucune subtilité, aucun fruité. Je m'étonne comment on peut placer une note moyenne de 7/10 pour ce rhum !... et par exemple une note moyenne de seulement 7,4/10 pour le J.M. Terroir volcanique (dont le budget est assez proche).. incompréhensible, comparez et vous verrez qu'il y a un monde énorme entre les 2. Si celui-ci fait 7/10, combien mettrait-on sur simplement un Neisson profil 107, 50/10 ??? Pour un budget découverte partez plutôt pour le même prix sur Saint James, Dillon, HSE, ou encore mieux un rhum ambré la Favorite assez courant en grande surface (1L à 27 euros).

Weicher Rum, eher holzig und erdig, nicht so fruchtig. Leicht
