Clément Créole Shrub

Actually pretty outstanding. I went to Martinique on a cruise in 2018 and did some distillery hopping. Many people were stereotypically Parisian and annoyed if you didn’t speak French (despite their tourism coming largely from North America) but they know how to make a good spirit. This is mouth coating and wonderful like an aged whiskey but sweet like juice. Can’t believe it’s 40%. It’s outstanding. I wish this bottle was in my bar but I’m happy to sip on it when I can

IMHO, this rum-based orange liqueur is superior for making cocktails, compared to triple secs and orange curaçao’s, because of the brightness of the flavors and aroma. Flowery and creamy orange nose. Bright and intense orange and light rum on the palate, medium-long aftertaste.
