Rhum J.M Cuvée 1845

The surprise here is how spicy and tannic it turns on the palate after a soft, rounded nose. This Martinique agricole from Rhum J.M runs on sugarcane, vanilla, wood and spice, with ripe apple and pear notes several tasters picked up. One member called the shift from nose to palate a real change of character. Elegant and complex at a fair 42%.

This is a Agricole that plays in the highest division to a very comparable price. It’s extremely elegant, round and complex with aromas and flavors that’s woody, spicy, floral and with sugarcane and vanilla clearly recognizable.

Tonight I'm enjoying this super nice rhum Agricole from Martinique. A very spicy rum which is not as gentle as in the nose. Very complex and a nice change from nose to palate. Lots of tannins, a lot of fruit and a wonderful balance to it all. A perfect symphony in my mind. One side is spicy, dry and complex and the other soft, candied and carried by tropical fruits. A great rum at the price tag. Those French really know their Rhum Agricole.

Rhum J.M 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 250 Rums

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.
