In the wake of such production, Homère Clément chose to create a real distillery, in particular to meet the great demand for alcohol during the First World War. After the death of Homère Clément, his son, Charles Clément, took over the management of the business, perfecting the production methods and starting to export Martinique Rhum Agricole for the first time abroad. At Charles Clément, they later moved to the children, while at the end of the last century, in 1996, the distillery was purchased by the Hayot family, which chose to continue with the company philosophy of previous management. This is how the production of Rhum Habitation Clément is still produced today, following the most pure agricultural traditions as well as the rules of a secret recipe that has been passed from generation to generation for centuries.
