Description
J.M is the smallest producer of Rhum Agricole in Martinique because it is the last 100% estate grown sugarcane rhumerie on the island. We have taken this commitment because of how proud we are of the high quality of sugarcane coming from this particular microclimate, from the face of the volcano Mt. Pelée. Within 1 hour of the sugarcane being harvested, it is pressed to extract its aromatic juice to be crafted into remarkable smooth and full-flavored Rhum Agricole. After some time to mellow in stainless steel, this rum ages three years in in recharred Bourbon barrels and another year in new American oak casks to achieve its illustrious mahogany color, smooth well-balanced flavor, and soft lingering finish.
The glorious J.M V.S.O.P. is created by aging rhum 3 years in re-charred Bourbon barrels and finishing the rhum an additional year in lightly toasted new American oak barrels. The V.S.O.P. is finally reduced to 43% ABV with pure volcanic spring water from Habitation Bellevue to create an extraordinary aged rhum that retains qualities of the natural terroir and sugarcane of Habitation Bellevue. Expect to find nougaty richness with cinnamon and clove aromas, flavors of spiced butter and lemony toffee, which leads into a smooth and subtle finish.
