Rhum J.M Très Vieux Rhum Agricole X.O 45% vol. 0.7 l

Rhum J.M Très Vieux Rhum Agricole X.O comes from Martinique and embodies the time-honoured tradition of producing Rhum Agricole from fresh sugarcane juice. The history of Rhum J.M dates back to the mid-19th century, whilst sugarcane cultivation on the estate has an even longer tradition. Unlike classic molasses-based rum, this Rhum Agricole is produced directly from freshly extracted sugarcane juice, which means that its origin and raw materials play a particularly central role. Production at Rhum J.M takes place in comparatively small batches and is closely linked to the terroir of northern Martinique. As an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, its production is subject to clearly defined requirements regarding origin, raw materials and production methods.

For Rhum J.M X.O, selected distillates are matured for a period of at least six years, during which they are aged in ex-bourbon casks made from American oak. As a ‘Très Vieux Rhum Agricole’ or ‘Rhum Hors d’Âge’, this bottling combines the intense characteristics of sugar cane with the long-term influence of cask maturation. Rhum J.M Très Vieux X.O is bottled at 45% alcohol by volume in a 0.7-litre bottle. The quality of this bottling has also been recognised internationally, including a gold medal and ‘Best of Show’ at the 2014 German Rum Festival in Berlin, as well as gold medals at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep mahogany with warm golden highlights.

Nose: Expressive and complex, with mango, passion fruit and lime, accompanied by sage, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and matured oak.

Palate: Layered and spicy with tropical fruits, fresh citrus notes and subtle herbal hints, complemented by pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and harmonious oak notes.

Due to its long ageing process, the Rhum J.M Très Vieux Rhum Agricole X.O is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat and should ideally be served at around 18 to 20 °C. Allowing it to rest in the glass for a few minutes gives this matured Rhum Agricole the chance to further develop its fruit, spice and oak notes. It pairs well with dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, roasted nuts, mature hard cheese or desserts featuring mango and caramelised fruit. This bottling is particularly well-suited as a digestif following a hearty meal or for a tasting of high-quality, matured Rhum Agricole from Martinique.
