Rhum JM VSOP 4-Year

Very different than most rums. Lighter and drier. You can taste the wood it was aged with. Also flavors of grass and nutmeg before turning quite spicy and actually just a bit too harsh, for me anyway. Still a solid sipping rum.

Nez : équilibré, jolies notes boisées et vanillées, cela évoque quelques notes pâtissières au café notamment. On retrouve l'odeur du tabac à pipe frais. C'est gourmand et prometteur.

Bouche: le boisé prend le dessus avec le tabac, les notes fruités sont franchement en retrait.

La finale est persistante, puissante avant de s'estomper sur cette agréable note de tabac.
Origine Martinique, AOC.

I donot have much experience with agricoles but this is nice. The nose has many wooden oak tones and licorice. This initial taste is grassy and typical agricole, followed by the alcohol burn which i quite like. Then that fades a bit followed by a peppery taste and the long aftertatse is licorice and some undefined spice

light agricole grassy notes on the nose - some honey notes can be found.
Taste is elegant sweet fruitiness on mid-palate with some sour notes
medium length drying finish
complex enough as a sipper

Aged agricola that's easy to find and consistently tasty

Grassy, sweet, with slight smokiness. Enjoyable and distinct Rhum Agricole.

If I should select an agricole rhum from the JM collection, this one would stay in my top 3, but the XO tastes better than the VSOP.

Interessa, anche se mi aspettavo di più. Proverò altri J.M. Staremo a vedere.

The first flavour is the powerfull of alcohol. in a second time, we discover the candied agrums, cherry & vanilla. A good rhum after a big meals in family.

Different flavour to anything else ... Damp flavour that's on its own ...
