Elegant, complex agricole charmer For curious explorers into agricole, this 15‑year J.M 2004 delivers dried and dark fruits, nuts, vanilla, chocolate and polished oak at an easy 42.9%. Unsweetened, complex yet very drinkable, highly praised on RumX.
Agricole fans who enjoy mature, oak-driven, unsweetened rums with lots of dried fruit, nutty notes and spice but prefer a comfortable sipping strength over cask strength power.
Those wanting a big ester bomb, very sweet rum, or high‑proof intensity—the lower ABV and dry, woody profile may feel too gentle or serious.

Review by Chris2000
Impressionnant, parfait ! Jolie étiquette en cuir, bouchon ciré, je regrette juste que le bouchon ne soit pas en liège massif dans le style des bouchons Neisson, mais en liège recomposé... c'est le 0,5 en moins sur la note... Le nez est extraordinaire, une odeur très forte presque chimique qui se dégage du verre. Une odeur d'amande artificielle et d'esthers, presque de champignons frais, et de bois, en fond on sent la mangue et l'ananas. En bouche, le caramel très fin, un goût de bonbons d'autrefois, de vanille et de nougats, notes d'ananas et d'agrumes viennent compléter cette bouche. Goût réconfortant et gourmand. Un rhum exceptionnel et agricole.
Review by Joachim Guger
Very oily and a wonderful color. Excellent nose. Dried fruit, spices and gingerbread. Blended to absolute perfection.😍 As far as I know, the rum is not diluted, powerful despite the low strength. 15 years of tropical maturation and no lignification whatsoever testify to skill in the cellar. When it enters the mouth, it seems a little thin at first, but then the spiciness really kicks in. Plenty of tingling lemon a la Neisson 2005. Medium-long, spicy finish. An extremely round, outstanding Agricole. High craftsmanship from a friendly, small winery.

Attention ….. très très bon rhum ! Un nez intense dans les fruits sec et sur le cuir. En bouche que c est bon, les fruits sec fondu sur du bois légèrement épicé… wouah ! Je valide à 100%, si j ai un truc à redire….. c est que j aurais aimer un % d alcool peut être un peu plus fort pour faire encore plus ressortir tout les arômes !

This is a wonderful rum and the price to quality is very good. I'd say this one is better that its predecessor. More elegant in a way. The nose is intense and fruity with leather, chocolate, wood trailed by light vanilla and nuts. The notes become much clearer once rested for more than 15 minutes. The palate is intense and well balanced with fruit, leather, chocolate as well as light wood and vanilla. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, coffee and light wood and tobacco. I will have to order a bottle of this rum :-)
Review by zabo
Was für ein feiner Tropfen. Dieser Rum geht runter wie Öl. Schöne Vorhänge im Glas. Lässt sich trinken wie ein easy Sipper, der nur wahnsinnig komplex, rund und elegant ist. Aus dem Gedächtnis heraus mit Abstand der beste J.M den ich bis jetzt im Glas hatte.
Review by Manuel
Sehr beeindruckender Agricole. In der Nase sehr intensive Einflüsse von Holz, Gewürzen (Vanille) und Früchten, leicht pfeffrig. Im Abgang finden sich die Einflüsse auch wieder, gefolgt von einer leichten Süße.
Review by Jakob
Heavy sweetness of dried fruit, nougat chocolate, nuts, wood, subtle citrus fruit aromas, spices, coffee...the variety of flavors is impressive. All of this remains very harmonious in an all-round harmonious, almost elegant profile. Thanks to its delicacy, this is one of the best J.M Rhums I know. Excellent.
Review by Thunderbird
A wonderful Agricole.... Very balanced and with a density of dark fruits, spices, wood and chocolate. It's really fun. It remains at a consistently high level of quality from the nose to the finish. The low alcohol content is not noticeable here
Review by TheRhumhoe
This 2004 vintage is a J.M. for the ages. The nose is very greedy and fruity, with notes of lemon, mango and marmalade, before moving on to gourmet notes of caramel, cream, chocolate and brown sugar. Subtle woody, spicy and nutty notes complete the olfactory profile. On the palate, the diluted aspect is not so distracting. The attack is smooth, but more spicy and woody than the nose. Notes of coffee, leather and tobacco give character to this rum, which loses a little of its greediness and fruitiness here. The finish evokes agricultural freshness, a floral and spicy profile with a dry, fairly complex structure. A rum that evolves both on the nose and palate with time, offering a highly diversified aromatic palette. A successful vintage for J.M.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso pieno e avvolgente con sentori intensi di frutti rossi misti (tra cui anche amarena), zucchero bruciato, legno, lieve tostatura, tanti frutti secchi (albicocche, prugne, uvetta), leggero agrume, vaniglia e qualcosa di floreale e intenso, davvero buonissimo! Al palato spezie(tra cui anche pepe), frutti rossi, frutta secca, pelle, legno, vaniglia e un po' di cioccolato. Peccato per il finale leggero, con un abv più alto sarebbe stato un gran Rhum da 9+(perchè il naso già lo è), resta comunque una bevuta molto piacevole e con un gusto unico. Consigliato a tutti gli amanti della Martinica
Review by RumTaTa
Wundervolle Nase! Gar nicht vordergründig wie ein Agricole sondern Trockenfrüchte, Nüsse, würzig und röstig, gefällt mir sehr gut! Am Gaumen trotz relativ geringem Alkoholgehalt schon intensiv und übereinstimmend zur Nase. Würze und Röstnoten treten aber mehr in den Vordergrund. Der Nachklang ist mittellang bis lang, leich bitter und ebenfalls sehr angenehm. Alles in allem ein sehr guter, ausgewogener Agricole-Rum.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Angenehm runder Agricole. Das Fass hat auf alle Fälle ordentlich Einfluss auf den Rum genommen. Aber im positiven Sinne. Im Hintergrund halten sich die fruchtigen und pflanzlichen Noten. Vielen Dank Manuel für das Sample.

Review by Michal S
A pleasant and elegant rum, slightly better than its predecessor from 2003. Wood, dried fruits, freshness.
Review by Agricoler
Erstklassiger J.M. Sehr schön hierbei die Zitrusnoten die ins marmeladige gehen und gleichzeitig ein tolle würzigkeit sowie Vanille. Immer wieder spannend J.M zu probieren, da doch immer wieder deutlich unterschiedliche Profile.
