Rhum J.M VSOP

"Just like the XO it’s more or less a perfect entry to a tour in the Agricole world. Tasted this one at a rum cruise when it was included at Ian Burrell’s “Blindtaste” Master class. It was quite easy to get it right, cause it was the only Agricole included. The picture shows the included rums at the blindtaste."

"I have never been disappointed by this VSOP, and each time I come back to it I find pleasure in it. It is simple, sweet, warm, vanilla, peppery to the nose. The taste is in keeping with it. One of my first premium rums but I still enjoy it."

"This rum is rather beautiful in the nose, very pastry and fruity with very marked notes of coconut. I find it very different in the mouth, much drier with its tobacco and cocoa side. The finish is very peppery and vanilla. Nice agricultural rum but with a bitterness that I dislike a little. A good value for money though!"

"02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the second half of the tastings. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, wood, light roasted, grass, sugarcane, light caramel, floral. Palate Round, light, wood, floral, spice, pineapple, light caramel, roasted, vegetal. Finish Medium long, warm, wood, roasted burnt, light grass, fruits."

"This rum has a oaky, caramel, vegetal aroma with some slight ester to it. It’s has a light mouthfeel with a peppery and floral taste that meld together nicely. This transitions nicely to a medium woody and spice finish that maintains that strong peppery note."

"A good agricultural rum in the VSOP category, with a nice aromatic palette. Strong woody and spicy notes, especially on pepper and vanilla, which mingle with the fruits. The finish is medium long and dry. An ideal rum to introduce to the agricultural world."

"Young J.M, fresh, slightly unbalanced. For the price probably a good entry into the Agricole world, if you like it spicier."

"Un rapport qualité prix énorme! Boisé juste comme il faut, beaucoup de fruits de caramel de vanille et des épices qui lui apporte du caractère et une belle longueur pour un VSOP de faible degré."

"Part of a tasting from February 2021. To me a very mellow agricole and a good entrance into agricole rum. In the nose it has a sweetness and hints of sugarcane, and the taste-notes had hints of dried fruit, wood and an earthy taste"

"Very briefly, the nose is reminiscent of Guyana rums, but then the floral Agricole notes dominate with apple and some smoke. In the mouth dry, woody, spicy, sharp. But also chocolaty bitter and subtly caramel sweet. Price for the quality also quite solid."

"a must for the price"

"An Agricole Rum muss ich mich noch hetantasten, dieser schien mir dafür gut geeignet. Leider ist es nach wie vor nicht meins. Die Trockenheit und die pflanzlichen Noten erinnern mich eher an Whisky und sind nicht das, was ich mir unter einem leckeren Rum vorstelle."

"Good value for money, easy to drink."

"Agricultural young but releasing a good dose of aromas and depth right from the first sips, transparently showing its innate personality"

"Rhum gourmand porté sur la vanille et sur le moka. Typicité attendue pour un vsop."
