Rhum JM 2007 10-Year

it s 42,9% abv, dry, brown sugar, some spices, tobacco, didn t buy that in martinique
(it was around 50 euro on sale in carrefour, a little more at the distillery, december 2018),
found a bottle in my place at around 145 euro (summer 2019), now the bottle is gone,
now it s just a nice memory ...
only thing this rum need before drinking is to stay 20 to 30 minutes in the glass so it will
open up flavors and lower the burn.
Perfect with any caribbean cigar !

un trés bon JM, j'ai l'impression qu'il y a une touche de porto...

Bouteille rapportée directement de la magnifique distillerie JM!
Un nez où dominent les fruits exotiques, enveloppés d'un léger boisé.
En bouche, on a une belle rondeur: les notes décelées au nez se confirment, accompagnées d'épices douces. On sent légèrement l'alcool en fin de bouche, mais ce rhum reste étonnamment doux pour un agricole! Le tout est très bien équilibré, et les arômes restent bien en bouche.
Une belle réussite pour moi!

Visited the Rhum JM distillery while vacationing in Martinique. Self guided distillery tour ended with an open tasting bar. Rhum JM 2007 was priced at EUR 33 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.
