Rhum J.M Single Barrel (Galleon) 2013
Anyone already into agricole will recognize this J.M shape: grape, apple and quince fruit up front, then a fresh, flowery side and a peppery, grassy, almost earthy backbone. At 52.8% the cane juice character is clear without much burn. Several tasters call it an easy sipper that's a touch thin and young mid-palate, but the spice and wood pull it back together.
- Fresh fruity nose
- Well-integrated ABV
- Spicy and peppery

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Fresh, peppery agricole that runs a touch thin Most agricole drinkers find it fresh, fruity and nicely spiced, with wood and ABV well integrated. The common gripe: a slightly thin, young, grassy palate that leaves you wanting a bit more weight.

Review by Double Barrel
Long time i wanted to get my hand on this one. A 10% sale at rum stylez make me jump the fence (A big thanks to David over there in Kortrijk for the work and the passion underneath). Im glad i did! A great JM. Sweet and fruity. Wonderfully fresh on the palate. All in perfect sync, abv and spices play their part at the right volume. Tertiary aromas and Licorice to be noticed! A treat at a very good quality/price ratio
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso abbastanza intenso con barile tostato, quasi carbonizzato, frutti secchi dolci (albicocche), frutti gialli (susine), un po' d'agrume, tabacco, fiorito e nel finale anche una nota dolce. Al palato si presenta delicato e morbido con frutti secchi dolci, tanto pepe, lieve barile carbonizzato, qualche altra spezia e agrumi. Il finale è medio con prevalenza di agrumi, pepe, frutti e un po' di cognac. Grazie a Roberto per il sample

#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.
Review by Frank
Mal wieder, zum herantasten, ein paar Agricole … Nase: ausgewogen fruchtig, würzig-holzig und auch frisch-blumig. An Frucht finde ich eine schöne Mischung aus Traube, Apfel und Quitte, dazu noch etwas Aprikose. Schnell kommt auch eine klare Karamell-Note, mit der eine leichte Rauchigkeit einher geht. Vielleicht ist das auch leichter, heller Ahornsirup. Dahinter kommt aber schon auch das Fass zur Geltung, mit Vanille und einer leichten Pfeffrigkeit. Mit einem tiefen Zug kommt auch etwas Essig hinzu. Nette Nase. 8,4 Gaumen: würzig-bitter und doch ganz am Anfang etwas dünn. Dieses dünne Mundgefühl wird aber gleich wieder vom Holz eingefangen. Muskat, etwas Nelke und ordentlich Pfeffer geben eine kräftige Würze. Hinten raus wird er deutlich grasiger und geht sogar stark ins Erdige, wird zunehmend kräuterig. 7,6 Würziger Agricole, der insgesamt gefällt, auch wenn er mir am Gaumen etwas zu pfeffrig und erdig ist. ABV passt prima.
Review by Johannes
Meines Ermessens etwas zu jung und zu grasig.
