Once the sugarcane juice has been extracted, it is fermented with an organic, proprietary strain of yeast before being distilled through Clément's single-column copper still (the still is modeled after the classic Armagnac stills of France). The rhum is then rested in stainless steel tanks for approximately nine months. During this time, a gentle stream of filtered air flows through the rhum and removes any unpleasant esters, which would detract from its flavor profile. Then, the rhum is aged for a minimum of six years in a combination of virgin and recharred American oak barrels.Rhum Clément Grande Reserve 6 Year Old Rhum Agricole earned a score of 96 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2013, where it was rated the top rhum agricole in the world.\n\n
