Rhum J.M Épices Créoles

From the Days of Rum 2023 box. Start out with all the oranges. Very fruity. Vanilla. Cool and unexpected start. Let dig in- Taste: more oranges. Quite bitter too. Ginger. Pretty intense for its 46%. Did somebody dropped some fanta and tonic in the cask? Interesting vibe for an agricole. Outspoken. Not really balanced. Part of a series. Had the Fumee which is lighter but better balanced. Fun drop though.

Viel Holz und im Geschmack recht bitter. Nicht so unser Ding.

Still good agricole.

#4433 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Very fruity with a spicy touch. Has both earthy and vegetal notes and then a light caramel touch.

Beautiful intensity and aromatic richness. Very gourmand rhum agricole with a lovely sweetness of spices and ripe fruit. Terribly effective

Time to finish up the 1423 Christmas calendar "24 days of rum". On day 17 we get an agricole that I find decent, with a nose of ginger and other spices. I'm getting tastenotes of sugarcane, cinnamon and other spices and a finish of smooth oak

Very fruity, spicy nose. On the palate, a clear barrel character, which creates a nice compliment between wood and Agricol-typical freshness. Unfortunately! The finish is far too short. Unfortunately, it left too quickly...

It is surprisingly good for the low ABV!

Great in cocktails, but also dry. Very nice, especially at 28€ in Spain ^_^ To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Spicy, Woody, Dried fruit, Nutmeg, Peppery On the palate: Woody, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Young woods Finish: Spicy, Tobacco A must-have for cocktails!

Very nice young agricole! Almost like a finished old fashioned

Well, like all the rums in this Advent calendar, it's a completely normal, average rum. It tastes a little different to the others, slightly spicy and tangy for me, but all within reason. You can do it.

The nose of this Rhum Agricole has a fruity note. The taste is dominated by the spices. The finish is spicy, fruity and with floral notes. Recommended for Agricole beginners.

This a very good rum and a great attemp at making an spiced rum without actual spices or any additives, but It kinda falls in the middle of nowhere in my opinion. It's an agricole but it doesn't have the typical grassy/floral notes. It's a decent sipper but it's not it's strongest point. The smell and taste really reminds me of a bourbon and I kinda miss a more "rummy" flavour. Don't get me wrong, the taste is very good, but at this price, you can get plenty of rums way better suited for sipping. As a mixer, that is it's main purpose, It's great, I tried it at daiquiri and cuba libre and it was excellent at daiquiri and very good on cuba libre. As I said, for the average price (which I think that is about 40€), I also think that there are better options for mixers. I got my bottle for 25€ so I won't complain too much... Overall a very interesting rum that I enjoyed, but it's a bit too bourbonish for my liking as a sipper. As a mixer it's outstanding and I appreciate the efforts of J.M of making something different.

Sample no.17 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2023. Nose is very inviting with dried fruits, orange peel, sugarcane, wood and vanilla. Palate is very different from the nose. Here you get more of a peppery and fermented vinegar or wine taste. The sugar cane juices give that special flavour compared to a rum made from molasses.

A strange spicy agricole intended mostly for cocktails, but even on its own is fine considering the price.
