Rhum J.M Fumée Volcanique

Distinctive smoky, woody aroma leads to a palate with peat, burnt sugar, and hints of whisky. Community finds it complex and bold, though some see it best for cocktails or whisky fans; an intriguing sip for adventurous palates.

    • Unique smoky flavour profile
    • Good price-to-quality ratio
    • Perfect for whisky drinkers

    Smoky notes and charred wood set the tone for Rhum J.M’s "Fumée Volcanique," as many RumX tasters agree. Subtle sparks of peat, burnt sugar, and a whisky edge mingle with hints of dried fruits and agricol agricole freshness. The finish tends to the dry and spicy, often with a touch of bitterness. Well suited for whisky lovers or anyone curious about a different twist on agricole — worth tasting, especially if you enjoy smokier spirits.

    "8,1:On the nose, rum reveals notes of smoke/volcanique scents and roasting that remain quite subtle and allow the agricultural rum to stand out. The ripe cane is present as well as dried fruits, raisins. The whole is simply laid down on a well roasted woody note. A pretty jam of various yellow fruits, citrus, starts to stick to our nostrils, before the apricot takes the lead. 8,1,:On the palate palate, it is fresh and fluid on the attack, with a nice ray of sunshine from the cane juice, mineral, syrupy with yellowfruits.Then, the spices with vanilla, pepper and wood with a touch of resin, quickly take over the palate, stinging it with fiery clouds that then rise up in smoke. You can actually taste a vulcano! The pepper takes advantage of this to spread its flavours in all dimensions, until it intoxicates us with its intensity. 8:The finish is quite light, dry, spicy, but long, compared to the lively mid-palate, raspberry is the leading fruit. This rum is a great example of real smoky rums, not just by name, it is not ment just for cocktails, but also for enjoying it neat-sipping.."

    "A wood-aged rum for cocktails. The barrels in which this cuvée rests have been tampered with, immediately bringing out the empyreumatic notes on the nose. The smokiness, even burnt, of the barrels comes through, as do marshmallow, caramel and toasted almonds. Spices combine with empyreumatic notes to mark a relatively youthful profile. Tropical fruits, including coconut, take pride of place in this promisingly aromatic nose. On the palate, smoky, spicy notes dominate without moderation. Burnt sweetness, vanilla, nuts and a touch of alcohol (Armagnac) make up the bulk of the profile. Fruit is much more in the background. A more concentrated, simplistic profile on the palate. The rather brief finish blends woody, spicy and empyreumatic notes with more grassy and agricultural ones. A certain bitterness emanates on the finish. If the nose announced something innovative, the rest of the profile remains more summary and limited by the low degree and rather succinct aging. A more mature cuvée with this type of profile might be interesting. Nevertheless, this remains a good rum, particularly for bars and cocktails, to which it will add character."

    "Very classic delicate Agricole in the nose. Subtle oak. Olive. Chamomille. Lemon. All good so far. The taste does not surprise me either. All those flavours come back fair and square. Very dry. Very drinkable. And a very well priced quality agricole. Nothing "fumee/smoky" btw. Must be a reference to the volcanic soil only. Retaste: light and fresh and minerally. Still good."

    "#4432 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Very different J.M profile with some fruit and a smoky note. Dry with some peat notes after resting for a while. Price to quality is very good."
