Rhum J.M Série N°2 Calvados Cask Finish 2006
The apple hits first — this is a Martinique agricole finished in Calvados casks, and the calva really takes over. Expect fresh and baked apple, caramel, a little coffee and dry oak. One Normandy taster who grew up around calva called it a genuinely happy surprise. Reduced to 41.4%, so it stays light and elegant rather than punchy.
The community says- Fresh apple & caramel
- Harmonious Calvados finish
- But: Reduction feels thin

Apple-forward agricole with a dry Calvados finish Most tasters find the Calvados finish charming and harmonious — lots of apple, caramel and oak, kept dry. A few feel the reduction smooths it out too much.

Review by Pascal Gwada
Excellent, certes beaucoup de goût de pomme pour un rhum, mais dans ce genre il est excellent.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Mhhh, this is delicious! You can easily taste the Calvados finish, but it goes very well with this Agricole, everything is very harmonious. I don't think it needs to have more oomph - just a light, elegant starter to the evening. Thanks, rumdog, for the sample!
Review by Vincent D
Normand d'origine, je connais le Calvados depuis tout petit. J'étais un peu curieux de découvrir le mélange rhum et fût de calva et je ne suis vraiment pas déçu. Le calva prend beaucoup de place mais il se marie vraiment bien, au goût, avec le rhum. Au nez, la pomme emporte tout d'abord. Puis du caramel, du café. En bouche, la pomme démarre et remplit la bouche puis laisse place au sucre, au fruit et au bois. Le tout est plutôt sec. c'est vraiment agréable. Le tout est encore plus prononcé après quelques minutes à température ambiante. Vraiment une belle surprise pour moi.

Très déçu par cette dégustation, un superbe nez très fruité avec un boisé élégant. En bouche la reduction gâche tout, c'est trop lisse sur le bois et les épices. A retenter pour confirmer ou non cette grosse déception.
