Rhum J.M Single Barrel 1999

Here's the surprise: 21 years in a tropical climate and it still drinks light — several tasters call it a touch thin, especially the finish. The nose is the highlight, all yellow fruit, apple, quince and a whiff of glue over old oak. Palate turns woody with nutmeg and a dry, herbal agricole edge. Elegant and rounded, but at 43% it fades a little fast.

RumX Advent Calendar, Day 21. A full, silky nose, with herbal candy, tropical fruit, star fruit, and yellow fruit, quince. The attack on the palate is a little diluted, but immediately the aromas rise and the fruit invades the palate. The herbal sweetness is a little less pronounced, but the vegetal and even menthol notes are more pronounced than on the nose. The finish is long, tasty and fruity, with a pleasant candy-like sweetness.

RumX Adventskalender Tag 21 Sehr guter Agricole aber nicht herausragend. Bringt alle typischen Marker mit. Leicht holzig mit pflanzlichen Tönen sowie schönen Vanille und Karamell Noten. Aber auch die Fruchtigkeit ist ordentlich vorhanden. Noch ein kleiner Nachtrag nach längerer Standzeit ist die Nase wirklich richtig gut. Der Gaumen und Abgang bringt dies aber dann nicht ganz rüber. Zum Schluss fehlt die schöne Vanille/Holz Mischung am Gaumen komplett.

Unfassbar schöne Nase nach getrockneten Aprikosen, Ceylon Zimt, diversen getrockneten Kräutern und Zitrusfrüchten. Aromatisch dann sehr rund und elegant nach bergamot, Eichenholz, Muskatnuss, Aprikosenkonfitüre, Tabak und gebranntem Zucker (Creme brulee). Leider auch etwas verwässert und dünn, ein paar % mehr hätten hier sehr gut getan. Dennoch sehr lecker und gut ausbalanciert! Die Nase verspricht aber insgesamt mehr als am Gaumen gehalten werden kann...

Röstig, rauchig mit viel Fasseinfluss. Floral, 43-48%, tropische Lagerung mindestens 10 Jahre. Am Gaumen wieder viel Fasseinfluss, aber auch etwas wässrig. Hier ist er etwas dünn. Insgesamt sehr lecker und easy sipping. Würde auf ein HSE oder Clement mit besonderer Fasslagerung tippen. Edit: Mein erster alter JM. Nase ist ausgezeichnet. Wird immer fruchtiger mit der Zeit. Am Gaumen aber zu dünn. Schade. In Fassstärke wahrscheinlich eine Granate.

First impression: I’m there with an old agricole as well. Stunning nose with sweet candied fruit and pastry, even immediately after pouning it. Alcohol well integrated, below 50%? Elegant wood. After a while the agricole profile becomes more pronounced as well as some roasted wood. Great rum but it would have been beneficiary if it had some more power too it. With time it’s just a bit too thinn.

Ausgewogene, gut geschmolzene Nase. Für 21 Jahre Lagerung wenig Holz. Hervorragend!! Im Mund wird er dann auf schwierig zu beschreibende Art sehr eigenartig, da gefällt er mir nicht gut. Die Seifennote der Velier Saint James Serie kommt mir in den Sinn. Der Abgang wird in weiterer Folge wieder schöner. Ein Rum mit Höhen und Tiefen, insgesamt aber sehr gut. Dank nach Bonn!!

Tag 21 RumX Adventskalender 2024: Relativ schnell heute einen Agricole erkannt, aber nicht mein Lieblingsprofil unbedingt. Deshalb aus Zufall auf J.M getippt, reines Glück. Insgesamt gesehen hat er mir doch ganz gut geschmeckt, aber trotzallem wirkt er sehr verwässert und bekommt hinten raus nach Standzeit eine seifig/parfümierte Note, das mag ich halt nicht.

Tag 21 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Gut gereift, rund und elegant. Allerdings auch ein wenig substanzlos in der Konsistenz und zu schnell verflogen, um länger im Gedächtnis zu bleiben. Es gibt hier absolut keine Fehlaromen und es stellt sich mit wiederholtem Nippen auch ein schönes Trinkgefühl ein, aber irgendwie fehlt mir hier etwas, um mich vollends abzuholen.

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.
