Clement white rum is made from the best selection of the finest sugarcane from Habitation Clement. The sugarcane is harvested as low to the ground as possible in order to get the highest concentration of sucrose. The distillery is within view of the fields to ensure freshness.

The Distillery

Since 1887, the production of Rhum Clément has been carried out according to the purest traditions and most time-honoured inherited from Homère and Charles Clément.

Rhum Clément is crafted in strict observance of the guidelines set forth by the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée.

Rhum Clément was founded by Homère Clément in 1887 in Le Francois in lowland Martinique, a small Caribbean island which has a unique terroir and the perfect tropical climate and humidity for growing sugarcane and producing rhum.

Homère was the mayor of La Francois and purchased the prestigious sugar plantation in his village, Domaine de l’Acajou, out of bankruptcy. His intentions were simply to stop the rioting planter’s and have them return to the fields to harvest sugarcane again, not to be refined into sugar, but to be pressed for their natural juice and to distil rum.

He took this imaginative idea from the brandy producers of southern France who were distilling grape wine into Cognacs. Homère is now coined as the “father of the Rhum Agricole”. Martinique is the only French Caribbean Island to have an AOC appellation, which they received in 1996. With more than 125 years of tradition, Rhum Clément is the no.1 selling Rhum Agricole, produced in Le François; producing rums with great elegance.
