Christian de Montaguère Rhum J.M Single Barrel (Selected by Christian de Montaguère) 2017
"Like a summer day on a hay meadow" is how one member sums it up, and that fits: fresh sugarcane, grass and herbs up front, peppery wood underneath, a little vanilla and honey. This cask-strength J.M is young and green rather than smooth — dry, grassy and intense on the palate, with roasty barrel spice on a long finish.
The community says- Fresh cane and grass
- Peppery barrel spice
- But: Green and youthful

The look inside the bottle
How does Christian de Montaguère Rhum J.M Single Barrel (Selected by Christian de Montaguère) 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Young, grassy cask-strength Martinique agricole Most tasters land around "very good agricole" — grassy, peppery and cane-forward. A few miss tropical fruit or find it a touch too floral and not the smoothest.

Review by Thunderbird
Das ist genau meins… fruchtig intensiv, später vanillecreme in der Nase! Am Gaumen intensiv grasig und leicht holzig , eine dezente Süße kommt dazu! Der Abgang ist ebenfalls grasig und intensiv…einfach nur lecker…..

Read full review →What an original jm. It's almost as if it's been aged in wood at first! A pleasant rum, but a little less good than the 1802 selection, less to my taste.
