Rhum J.M VO
Most enjoy its fruity apple, honey and woody balance and see it as a great base agricole; critics find it a bit linear, leathery or not their style, but overall solid for the price.
Curious explorers and rum drinkers moving into agricoles who want a fruity, gently woody, unsweetened 43% sipper that still works well in simple Ti’ Vieux-style cocktails.

It’s aged for 3 years in new oak barrels and finished for a short time in former Bourbon casks. It’s, as all J.M’s, in their standard line up, a good entrance to the world of Agricole’s. The nose is floral and woody with aromas of grass, oak and bourbon. At the palate the aromas comes back as flavors plus that there are flavors of sugarcane and smoke.
The fruit stands out and lingers. This is definitely a good sipper, and loom forward to enjoying this bottle. I often like to use my bottles to mix cocktails with, but the subtle flavors of stone fruits and wood will probably get overpowered. Overall, a very balanced rum that smooth the whole way through.

Auto-translatedHerrlich fruchtige Noten von Apfel und Weißwein, ebenso Holz. Im Hintergrund Klebstoff und Honig zu erkennen. Die Frucht dominiert auch im Geschmack, der Apfel ist deutlich wahrnehmbar und wird nach kurzer Zeit vom imposanten Honigauftritt abgelöst. Leichte Holzbeiklänge. Zum langanhaltenden Honig gesellt sich mit der Zeit Leder. Fruchtiger und milder Agricole.
