Martinique, a French Caribbean island, is mainly producing \u201cRhum Agricole\u201d. It is obtained by distilling of sugar cane juice directly. This kind of rum is more aromatic.
\nIn 1996, the Island Rhum Agricole obtained an AOC recognition, \u201cAppellation d\u2019Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e\u2019\u2019. It is the only one so far.
\nThere are strict ageing conditions & appellations:
\n“Rhum Blanc Agricole Martinique\u201d: min. 8 weeks in steel tanks<\/p>\n
\u201cRhum Vieux Agricole\u201d: min. 3 years in oak casks of 650L<\/p>\n
\u201cRhum Extra Vieux Agricole, XO\u201d: min. 6 years in oak casks<\/p>\n
All ageing & bottling must be done on the Island.
\nNo Additional Flavor & No Additional Sugar[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7313″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Rhum Cl\u00e9ment has been established in 1887 when Hom\u00e8re Cl\u00e9ment purchased a 43-hectare sugar plantation.<\/p>\n
Hom\u00e8re mimicked the distillers of the great Armagnac to perfect his method of rum production known today as Rhum Agricole.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, Cl\u00e9ment has 8,000 barrels patiently aged in their cellars and is a leading producer exporting to 80 different countries.<\/p>\n
Around 8% of the volume of each barrel is lost every year due to \u00ab evaporation \u00bb (or Angel share).<\/p>\n
The aging is also unique. It is going 2.5 times faster than in Europe or Kentucky due to the high temperature and humidity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
