Clément 1970 Hors d'âge

Clément 1970 Vintage Agricole Rum has matured 15 years in large 200-liter barrels in Clément’s extensive maturation cellars before being moved to smaller French oak casks for six years, resulting in a significant concentration of flavor.

It is a stellar-aged Agricole, featuring all the grassiness one associates with that style but accompanied by a tremendous depth of flavor. The rum serves up deep, sugared fruits on the nose, with pineapple and mango, particularly at the fore. The palate is consistent with the nose but adds flavors of almonds, tobacco smoke, and a slightly floral edge. The finish is long, with a robust toasted oak note and lingering sweetness. A beautiful 1970 vintage, bottled in 1991.
