To be clear, pronunciation is NOT "kloomont" but "klumont" where the "u" sounds like the "u" in "drug" or "smug." My source: On Friday, 5/20/2016, I ran into and spoke with Kurt Rogers, the local brand ambassador for Rhum Clément and asked for his confirmation. He told me that he learned the correct pronunciation when he visited the distillery as part of his brand ambassador onboarding and training. Kurt is also one of the partners/owners of Flask & Cannon tiki bar in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Here is a pic I snapped of Kurt showing the new limited edition street-art adorned bottle of Rhum Clément VSOP Rhum Agricole Vieux. It's good stuff! Only 30,000 bottles were made.
