Rhum JM Fumée Volcanique 1-Year

Still has some agricole notes.
Caramel etc vanilla
Dark and has the barrel flavor, but moderate
Not excessively Smokey or oakey

Lekker jonge agricole met een rokerige hint. Prima puur te drinken.

Donker, complex, tropisch fruit en karamel in de neus, gevolgd door groene planten in een tropische kas, vetiver, cederhout, honing en een hint van rook.

De smaak is rijk, vol, droog, kruidig en scherp, met veel hout, peper, een zuchtje rook, gras, tabaksblad, en onrijp fruit.

De finish is lang, droog, notig en peperig. Bijna als een Talisker Whisky in rumvorm.

so young....
but very interesting.....
so perfect in my apple cake 😂😂

A very fruity smell, sweet, a little bit smoky and some burning alcohol.
The taste is light sweet and fruity, slightly alcoholic and woody.
A good Rhum with a Whiskytouch.

Strohgelb im Glas.
In der Nase exotisch und doch vertraut. Ein kürzlich erloschenes Lagerfeuer umringt von grossen Basaltbrocken am Fusse des Vulkans. Saftige tropische Früchte wurden darüber geröstet.
Am Gaumen angenehm weich und voller Aromen. Mineralische und organische Geschmäcker ergiessen sich Lavaartig über die Zunge. Geröstete Mangos, Ananas und Papaya mit gemahlenem Gestein bepudert und mit in Karamell getunkte Schokoblättchen verziert. Leicht angekohlte, holzige und harzige Noten geben dem ganzen den gewissen Kick.
Im Abgang bleiben die herben Aromen lange erhalten. Früchte und Karamell verschwinden zuerst zurück bleibt eine salzige Erinnerung.
Ein weiters Glanzstück aus der "L' Atelier des Rhum" Serie. Zum mixen gedacht, aber auch pur sehr lecker. Mir persönlich gefällt dieser ein Stückchen besser als der Jardin Fruité. Für Einsteiger und Geniesser von Rhum Agricole. 8+

Straw yellow in the glass.
Exotic yet familiar on the nose. A recently extinguished campfire surrounded by large boulders of basalt at the foot of the volcano. Juicy tropical fruits were roasted over it.
Pleasantly soft and full of flavors on the palate. Mineral and organic flavors pour lava-like over the tongue. Roasted mangoes, pineapple and papaya powdered with powdered rock and decorated with chocolate flakes dipped in caramel. Lightly charred, woody and resinous notes add a kick.
On the finish, the tart flavors linger for a long time. Fruits and caramel disappear first, leaving a salty memory.
Another gem from the "L' Atelier des Rhum" series. Intended for mixing, but also pure very tasty. I personally like this a bit better than the Jardin Fruité. For beginners and connoisseurs of Rhum Agricole. 8+

8: The nose reveals notes of smoke 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 starts to stick to our nostrils, before the apricot takes the lead.

7: The palate is fresh and fluid on the attack, with a nice ray of sunshine from the cane juice. Then, the spices and wood 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, 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.

belles notes fumées
parfait en ti punch
belle découverte

Une attaque franche
Une bouche équilibré
Une longueur en bouche suffisante.
Une joli découverte a prix raisonnable

Definitely a real wild youngster. This agricola comes with slightly peaty hints but not as you may know from peated Single Malts. After my first taste it reminds me very much like Grappa. A very dry taste, bit fruity and a hint of smoked bar-bq. This Rhum is strange but sometimes also exciting.
