Rhum JM VO 3-Year

Au premier nez la canne et le boisé montent immédiatement.
Au second nez l alcool apparait bien intégré.
En bouche le bouche le boisé est de nouveau très présent, l alcool se ressent bien mais est effectivement bien intégré, rhum très équilibré.
La finale est assez longue je trouve qu à ce moment il tire légèrement sur les fruits confits.

I was excited to try this based on the scent. Initial taste was nice but then it kind of fell flat. Aftertaste lingers and is somewhat intense. Perhaps I’m not an Agricole person, seems to be true to that pallet though.

Ok sipper with very good Agricole flavor and characteristics. Not overly complex. Finish is short. Tastes a little young but pretty good.

This quite young Agricole, which I bought when I drove down to Spain some days ago, is aged for three years in new oak barrels with a short finish in former bourbon barrels.
In nose the oakiness dominates.
In mouth, at palate and during the quite long finish I, besides the oak, also recognize fruits, smoke and hints of bourbon.
Overall it’s as all J.M’s in the standard line up a good buy and a good entrance to the world of Agricole’s.
Picture: My opened bottle and a poured glass down in Nerja, Spain.

Nose: 4/5
Taste: 4/5

Spiced with plumbs taste is it real?

Drinking rum all my life spending time in French, British, and American islands, central and South America I have somehow past up on JM. I was finally offered a sample last night and found VO to be very smooth for such a young rum. Classic agricole flavours but not hard to drink like Clement’s. I look forward to trying their XO.

The first nosing reveals vegetable notes that meet cognac sweetness, liquorice black jack ..

Cognac and port meet the pallete first followed by the vegatation notes of agricole rum ...

Fruity rum with medium strong alcohol, low sugar with long and interesting long aftertaste (herbs, nuts).

Very good for agricole fans.. not that great for the others. Very fruity smell, especially ananas and bananas. In the mouth you can feel also young wood, citruses and vanilla.

Leuchtendes Bernstein mit Kupferreflektionen im Glas.
In der Nase leicht - locker und doch mit tiefe. Überreife tropische Früchte in einem Holzbottich, frisch gepflückte gelbe und weisse Blumen liegen als hübscher Strauss dabei. Tabakblätter, Leder und ein wenig Moos sind mit Harz an die Henkel des Bottichs geklebt.
Am Gaumen lieblich und weich. Die tropischen Früchte werden noch leicht karamellisiert bevor den Mund erreichen. Da ist noch etwas mit dem Holzaroma, irgendwie wie wenn du an einem Piratenschiff leckst das schon vor langer Zeit gesunken ist.
Im Abgang etwas Früchte, ein bisschen Karamell, ein halbes Holzbein, gemischt mit Zuckerrohrsaft und durch ein altes Segel gesiebt.
Ein toller, uriger Agricole, voller Aromen und Geschichten. Für Liebhaber solcher Dinge. 7++

Bright amber with copper reflections in the glass.
In the nose light - loose and yet with depth. Overripe tropical fruit in a wooden vat, freshly picked yellow and white flowers lie as a pretty bouquet. Tobacco leaves, leather and a little moss are glued with resin to the handles of the vat.
Lovely and soft on the palate. The tropical fruits are still lightly caramelized before reaching the mouth. There's still something with the wood flavor, kind of like when you lick a pirate ship that sank a long time ago.
Finishes with some fruit, a bit of caramel, half a wooden leg mixed with sugar cane juice and strained through an old sail.
A great, rustic Agricole, full of flavors and stories. For lovers of such things. 7++
