rafa Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 What a great discovery! Perfect with crushed ice. Smooth and tasty. Honey and licorice predominant taste. Ideal marriage with a cigar. 14 € in Spain
El Presidente Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 That is one that has escaped me! Looking forward to tracking some down. Nice find Rafa!
bassman Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Is this a straight rum or does it have aeromatics added. I love Clement Cherube from Martinique- dark rum with herbs & orange peel added.

Oooh- The Elixir is to DIE for! their cane spirit is my go-to Cuban rum (a touch better than HC7), but the Elixir is something else altogether.
Ken Gargett Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Is this a straight rum or does it have aeromatics added. I love Clement Cherube from Martinique- dark rum with herbs & orange peel added. the clement i love. have never seen this. from what i can make out from the label, almost looks like a liqueur style of rum. or have i misread that?
Ken Gargett Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Any ideas on were I can get clement cherube? where are you based?
kjellfrick Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Here in Sweden i can find three different Cléments, the Clément Rhum Vieux at $48, Clément J.M 1995 at $122 and the Clément J.M. at $142. Any of them any good?
cadillacdoc Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 This is a rum liquor, sweet! They've changed the label
Ken Gargett Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Argentina, Chile or USA sorry - can't assist much there.

Any of them any good? this is from a thing on rum i did for a local trade mag. might help a bit - Cerbaco Rums (prices as noted by the distributor) – 1998 Rum Agricole 'Arbre du Voyageur' ($130) (40%) is delightful and will be almost unrecognisable as rum to those weaned on Bundy. Light, fragrant and spicy but surprisingly powerful and intense on the palate. Rum Agricole 'La Tour de L'or' ($180) (57.4%) has a light colour but this is deceptive as it is quite fearsome on the palate, dry and quite lean. The flavours are lemons, nuts, hints of 'rum molasses' and developing citrus. Long flavours. Rhum Agricole J. M. Blanc ($50) (50%) is a white rum of real character, which is rarer than you might think. Quite powerful with floral and pear notes, it would be the ultimate white rum for a cocktail. Rhum Agricole J. M. Reserve Speciale ($90) (49.6%) has a fresh, quite delightful nose with lots of orange notes and hints of spice. Very strongly orange, all leading to a lovely dry finish. Good length here. Rum Agricole Damoiseau Reserve ($80) (42%) mixes complexity and fresh flavours nicely. Citrus, spice and nuts, this is a balanced rum with good length of flavour. A sipper. Rum Agricole Damoiseau 15 Years ($160) (42%) has a wonderfully aromatic nose, a real eye-opener. Mature and complex with light chocolate notes over citrus, it is beautifully balanced with excellent length. It would be a shame to drink this with anything other than a little water or better yet, ice. Rum Clement Shrubb Orange ($55) (40%) is a Cointreau lookalike, oozing delicious orange notes (it is a liqueur rum and spices, rather than a straight rum). Quite sweet but delicious. Rum Agricole Clement 6 Years ($100) (44%) is fragrant and floral, with a little maturity. Of moderate length, it would be a great rum for the finest of cocktails. Rum Agricole Clement Terre Caraibe ($50) (40%) is good value for a very attractive style, quite subdued with limes, spice and a light dusting of chocolate. An enjoyable rum. 1976 Rum Agricole Vieux Clement ($280) (44%) had some complexity but for me, a little disappointing at that price.
Colt45 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 what the hell happened to the cigar in the photo? I'm just guessing Mr. Moderator, but I think it's part of a culebra.
Ken Gargett Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I'm just guessing Mr. Moderator, but I think it's part of a culebra. yes, i think you are right. i'm just used to rob doing that to mine before they arrive - thought i was the only one (that and smoking the culebras, three at once).
cadillacdoc Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I'm just guessing Mr. Moderator, but I think it's part of a culebra. Here's the review I did http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/inde...c=74312&hl=
