Rhum J.M Single Barrel by Kirsch Import 2015
Agricole drinkers who want wood and fruit over raw grass will click with this young J.M single barrel. Cherry, vanilla and toasted oak lead, with a light resin/glue edge and a spicy allspice kick. Several tasters note the bourbon-cask influence makes it read less "typical agricole" than expected. At 55%, the alcohol is remarkably well tucked in — rounder than its age suggests.

How does Rhum J.M Single Barrel by Kirsch Import 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 42 community reviews.
Round, oaky young agricole with cherry Widely liked young Martinique agricole. Fans love the round balance, cherry and vanilla, and how well the cask strength hides. Main gripe: the finish could run longer.

Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: a slight resin note on the nose. Rating unchanged. A very good Agricole! Incredibly mild and round on the nose. Reminds me immediately of Foursquare. When I smell deeper into the glass, floral notes are added. Again round and mild on the palate, but here much more floral and barrel-heavy. There is practically no intrusive alcoholic spiciness. The aromas can all be found in the medium-long finish. I also find a hint of bourbon.

22.05.2022 Running through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Round, fresh, fruity, light cherry, faint sugarcane, light roasted wooe, spice. Palate Fresh, medium dry, wood, light roasted, fruits, light cherry, faint citrus, light floral, spice. Finish Medium long, balanced, wood, roasted, faint chocolate, light floral, light sugarcane. Extra note. Fruitier than the 10 and 15 year old releases.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein sehr süffiger angenehmer Agricole! Die Nase findet ich recht betörend fruchtig süß! Am Gaumen verteilt er sich cremig und sanft mit einer würzigen Süsse und getrockneter Frucht (Feige)! Das grasige vermisse ich hier etwas! Im Abgang kommt aber auch diese typische Note dazu! Ich finde ihn für den Preis und dem jungen Alter als sehr gelungen! Ein Sipper für den Abend!
Review by mto75
Also hier haben die Kirsch-Jungs ja mal wieder ein ausgezeichnetes Händchen bewiesen! Eine extrem leckere Nase! Mit Vanille, Datteln, Rosinen, jungem Holz. Der Gaumen ist sehr rund und weich, mit Piment, Karamell und einer leichten pflanzlichen Note. Einzig der Abgang könnte noch etwas länger sein. Unterm Strich ein ausgezeichnetes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Rhum J.M und Kirsch ist einfach eine super Kombination anscheinend. Toller Rum, den Ich jeden Tag genießen könnte. Trotz des jungen Alters schon eine tolle Tiefe. Geruch schön grasig-süß wie man es erwartet. Abgang auch lang, wenn auch nicht besonders vielschichtig. Empfehlung!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very French oaky in the nose. A typical acidity, also Armagnac. A bit glue-y too. Weird. Not agricole persé. Red fruits. In taste the agricole comes forward. More freshness. Lighter. Woody still with some bitterness. Nicely balanced flavours. I like this one a lot.
Review by Boletus
Ein exzellenter junger Agricole, der erstaunliche Reife aufweist und mir viel Freude bereitet. Diese absolut runde Aromenfracht bei gleichzeitig ideal eingebundenem Alkoholgehalt bietet ein ebenso süffiges wie köstliches Trinkerlebnis. Großartig!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absoluter Ausnahme Agricole! Genug Power, extrem süffig, Komplex nach Grapefruit Konfitüre, Minze, Datteln, Nougat & viel Würze und nicht zu viel Holz. Extrem lecker! Bis dato wohl einer der besten jungen JMs imho!
Review by Jakob
Really tasty J.M, which already has an impressively balanced aroma spectrum to offer despite its young age. Sweetness, grass and wood in a harmonious overall picture - I like it very much.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good JM! Good blend of wood, cherry and leather. Nice young rum with a good PLV.

Erstaunlich gut für sein Alter... schön Fruchtig und angenehm zum Sippen ...
Review by Oliver
Beautiful, young Agricole. Still a little too young and wild for my taste.
