Rhum J.M 2003

Sip this one neat and give it time in the glass — several tasters say it opens up after resting. You get floral and grassy agricole notes, a little orange, vanilla and roasted spice, with tobacco and leather underneath. Not too sweet, nicely rounded. The recurring gripe: the finish runs thin and short, and a few wish it hit harder.

The community says
  • Floral, grassy nose
  • Not too sweet
  • But: Thin, short finish

How does Rhum J.M 2003 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Floral, grassy agricole with a short finish Most find it a pleasant, floral vintage agricole with fruit and spice. The common catch: a thin, short finish and a touch light on power — a couple call it one-dimensional.

Perfect for

Fans of grassy, floral Martinique agricole

Excellent nose - dark, toasty and intense. Great roastiness and pleasant sweetness on the palate. A bit wild on the palate. Only the finish is unfortunately too thin.

To the point: liquid sharp herbal candy. More detailed: herbs, green notes and eucalyptus, unpleasant sharp note, some sweetness at the end (probably from the cask). The whole thing is not very complex, just herbal and sharp.

Verkostet zusammen mit paar anderen Agricoles aus Martinique. Alle fast eine Stunde im Glas atmen lassen. An der Nase sehr angenehm, pflanzlich und floral, mit etwas Orange. Am Gaumen überwiegen Gras und Gewürze, Tabel, Leder, leider aber etwas dünn. Annsich ein S ehr angenehner Agricole. Aber auch hier könnten paar Prozente mehr paar Punkte mehr einbringen.

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.
