I found a bottle of Clement at the 4th store I went to today. I was surprised it didn't have the Apellation d’Origine Contrôlée Martinique label that Ministry of Rum spoke of. I mixed it with Appleton 12 and it was great. 10x better than the Neisson combo. I think the Neisson has too much of a "boozy" taste to it. It is not smooth and is the worst to sip by itself. Clement VSOP seems better and cheaper in that regard to me at least.

Actually I did see Clement X O rum, but I purchased all of the above for about the same as that bottle. I am curious to try it but I couldn't commit to $160 for a bottle today.

But I couldn't find any St James anywhere. Anyone out there know where we might find that in San Diego? I will try some stores up north next weekend and I am hoping I can find a bottle.

Has anyone tried this Clement X O? Does anyone know why it costs $160 a bottle? To me usually $60 is an expensive bottle if rum.
