Rhum JM Multimillesime 2002-2007-2009

Visited the Rhum JM distillery while vacationing in Martinique. Self guided distillery tour ended with an open tasting bar. Rhum JM Multimillesime 2002 - 2007 - 2009 was priced at EUR 60 per bottle at the distillery. Very nice and sturdy bottle design with a great old school label. Golden color. Traditional super dry Rhum Agricole flavors complemented with plenty of grass and floral notes to the nose and palate. Surprisingly strong burn at the end since its so dry. Rhum Agricole fan boys can easily add 2 points to my score.

Ce rhum est excellent il en ressort une grande complexité et une douceur incroyable, des notes pâtissières, vanille, un léger goût pomme semble pointer le nez type Calvados très très léger. La canne est bien présente, avec une finale très fine sur un boisé bien équilibré. A boire à température ambiante et bien aérer. Je le conseille comme le vsop et le xo dans un autre registre. Mais celui là est plus complexe. Il est un peu moins que la cuvée 1845, mais plus sucré à mon sens.

42.3%. Rich old nose. Oak and just a touch of cherry. Full flavored. Dry. 8+

Beautiful mahogany color. The nose is very greedy on candied fruits, nuts, almond, fig, dates. On the palate, there are notes of toast, it is very sweet, very pastry and always greedy. A real delight for the palate. Not very long on the final but it is a very nice blend of the beautiful, but no less excellent master blender Karine Lassalle. Pretty feminine touch, sweet and delicate.
