Rhum J.M Single Barrel (Galleon) 2013

Agricole drinkers who want a woody, peppery single cask will find plenty to chew on here. The nose is fruity and fresh — grape, apple, apricot — with a caramel edge and faint smoke, then the palate turns spicy: nutmeg, clove and a real hit of pepper, going grassy and earthy on the way out. At 52.8% the alcohol sits well. A couple of tasters wish it had more body.

  • Fresh fruity nose

Once again, to get started, a few Agricoles... Nose: balanced fruity, spicy-woody and also fresh-floral. For fruit I find a nice mix of grape, apple and quince, plus some apricot. Quickly comes a clear caramel note, with a slight smokiness. Maybe also lighter, bright maple syrup. Behind that the cask comes into play, with vanilla and a slight pepperiness. With a deep draw also some vinegar appears. Nice nose. 8.4 Palate: spicy-bitter and yet at the very beginning somewhat thin. This thin mouthfeel is quickly caught again by the wood. Nutmeg, some clove and plenty of pepper give a strong spice. At the back it becomes clearly grassier and even strongly earthy, increasingly herbal. 7.6 Spicy Agricole that overall pleases, even if on the palate it is a bit too peppery and earthy for me. ABV fits perfectly.

Single Cask Agricole from J.M have never disappointed me. This one is also very tasty. An easy sipper that lacks some volume and intensity on the palate despite 7 years of barrel aging. Here, in the vain search for "more," you quickly slurp down 2 cl.

#4462 11.11.2023 Enjoying a few samples before I have to give a tasting close to my home. Advantage is I can walk there and back really fast so I can participate as well. Really nice release with a nice fruity profile and a faint smoky note throughout the profile. The palate is fresh and oily with fruit and spices. Wood and ABV are pretty well integrated. The finish is medium to long with a nice vegetal note. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has light caramel and nutts.

Rhum J.M is Martinique's oldest surviving distillery, tucked into a lush volcanic valley in Macouba on the northern slopes of Mount Pelee. It is the only producer on the island that makes its rum entirely from its own cane, milled within an hour of cutting, and its brown-sugar signature has made J.M one of the most beloved agricole names with collectors.
