RUM CLEMENT - White Rum - Blue Cane - Vintage 2023 - 50%
Habitation Clément is located in François , Martinique . The rum factory was created by Homere Clément in 1887 when he bought an estate at the height of the sugar crisis. At this time, Homere Clément was a very popular member of the Martinican community and the mayor of Le François. He purchased the prestigious sugar plantation known as Domaine de l'Acajou . This 43-acre estate was considered one of the best sugar plantations on the island of Martinique. But as he was caught in a poor and stagnant sugar economy, he was unfortunately forced into bankruptcy. Homere Clément made the necessary investments and transformed one of the most prestigious sugar plantations on the island into a world-class producer of Rhum Agricole. He brought the planters back into the fields to harvest the sugar cane again, but not to refine the sugar. His idea was to press the sugar cane grown on his quality estate to extract aromatic and tasty first-pressed sugar cane juice to distill pure rum. Inspired by the great eaux-de-vie that he discovered while studying in his youth in Paris, Homer imitated the distillers of the great Armagnacs of southwest France to perfect his method of producing rum known today as the name of Rhum Agricole. On the death of Charles Clément, his son, the house was bought by George-Louis and Jean-José Clément, then by GBH in 1986, who is still the owner today. The distillery is now closed and transformed into a museum; Clément rum is distilled at the Distillerie du Simon located in François, a few kilometers away, then refined in the Clément cellars.
