    "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."

    "Un ancien JM de gamme permanente, la production de celui-ci semble s’être arrêtée pour le moment. C’est dommage, car pour un VO ce JM présente un nez parfumé avec un beau boisé, des épices un peu chaudes (piment, vanille) et mielleuses, le tout avec une touche de fraîcheur sur les fruits, notamment la pomme et la pêche. Un nez plutôt abouti pour un rhum si jeune. L’attaque en bouche poursuit sa lancée avec des notes plus rôties et toastées, plus terreuses et végétales également. On y décèle la canne à sucre, le cuir, la pomme et toujours ce duo boisé et épicé qui embaume le palais. Le côté agricole n’est pas trop dominant, ce qui est plutôt appréciable. L’alcool est bien maîtrisé, même si le degré est déjà bas. La finale s’en sort plutôt bien avec la cannelle, des notes épicées et toastées, un peu plus de verdure mais une pomme toujours présente, marquée de notes confites sur le miel. Le profil gagne en équilibre au fur et à mesure. Un profil un peu linéaire mais qui a le mérite d’être un très bon rhum de base. Encore une fois, il est dommage que ce type de rhum ne soit pas disponible continuellement."

    "Earthy and fresh nose and taste with a slightly oaky finish. Fairly complex and balanced flavors for a 3yo spirit."
