RumX Guide

Rhum J.M, explained

What does Rhum J.M taste like?

Vanilla, brown sugar and a waxy honey note are the J.M house style, and the VSOP and the 10 Year Old, the way into the range, add cappuccino and brazil nut. That profile comes from fresh-milled cane and a year in new American oak before ex-bourbon. The aged vintages go deeper: the RumX community tags the J.M La Dame Jeanne woody, with nutmeg, vanilla and candied fruit, and the J.M 2003 15yr woody, with vanilla, tobacco and leather. Independent bottlings such as the Wu Dram Clan 2015 exist too.

Where is Rhum J.M made?

Rhum J.M is made at the Fonds-Preville distillery in Macouba, in a lush volcanic valley on the northern slopes of Mount Pelee in Martinique. The estate began as two neighbouring properties, Bellevue and Fonds-Preville, and dates back to the late 1700s; Macouba lies outside the zones devastated by the 1902 eruptions, which destroyed Saint-Pierre, and the estate survived them. Volcanic spring water from high on Mount Pelee feeds both the milling and the bottling.

How is Rhum J.M made?

Rhum J.M is rhum agricole made from fresh cane that the house largely grows itself and mills fast, which preserves the fresh-juice character that defines its profile. It rotates about 200 hectares of cane and bananas between its Bellevue and Preville estates, and master distiller Nazaire Canatous, 45 years at J.M, challenges his team to mill the cane within a single hour of cutting. Fermentation runs just 24 to 30 hours in nearly two dozen open vats, and the cane wine is distilled on two copper columns to about 72 percent. White rhum rests six full months in steel before bottling, longer than most houses, which J.M reads as confidence in its spirit.

Frequently asked questions about Rhum J.M

J.M are the initials of Jean-Marie Martin, who bought the estate in Macouba in 1845, installed stills and marked his barrels with his initials. Those two letters on the casks became the name of the brand.

Groupe Bernard Hayot (GBH), through its Spiribam arm, which has owned the Fonds-Preville distillery and the J.M brand since 2002 and also owns Rhum Clement. According to industry reports, J.M now also distils for Clement.
