Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole

"Ce rhum vieux Clément est issu de la distillation du seul jus de la canne à sucre. Elaborés à l'Habitation Clement, faisant alterner durant la période de vieillissement l'emploi de fûts neufs et d'autres plus anciens, les Rhums Vieux Clement s'apprécient en punch ou en digestif."

This rum is a fine "rhum vieux agricole" matured for at least 3 years is barrels. I made a nice drink as a variation of the Mai Tai.

1 part old Jamaican rum (I used Plantation Jamaica 8 yo 1998)
1 part rhum vieux agricole (I used Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole)
1 part lime juice
1/2 part orange liqueur (I used Cointreau)
1/2 part simple syrup (I used a bar spoon granulated sugar)
2 parts raspberry nectar (I used Alain Milliat's Nectar Framboise)
1 dash of orange flower water

Shake all ingredients on ice. Strain in a cocktail glass. Garnish with mint leaves (I used a fancy lime wedge instead because I had no mint). This is a miraculously perfect drink. The two persons with whom I drank this said it was their favourite cocktail ever! I think it is in the same category as Mai Tai, which I believe is one of the best drink that exists.

44% ABV
