Rhum JM VSOP 4-Year

Not great but acceptable, Very strong with lot’s of vegetal aroma’s like most rhum agricole.
Really not the best of it’s kind

Quality rum where alcohol beats other tastes and smells. As i prefer exploring tastes, this rum is not so suitable for me.

Le design de la bouteille est quelconque.
On retrouve les odeurs sucrées, de miel et de vanille du JM vieux "de base".
Le rhum est assez sec en attaque (alcool), puis des goûts subtils se révèlent, fruits confits, canne
Vient une longue finale de canne, signature des rhums agricoles de Martinique.
Très agréable à boire dans l'absolu, il ne vaut pas le XO qu'on retrouve souvent au même prix, d'où le 7.

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.

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.

One of the best agricoles I've ever had. Honey, fresh grass, spice and a little heat, finishing slightly dry.

Color : Light brown
Flavour : nougaty richness with cinnamon & clove, spiced butter, toffee, vanilla
Palate : smooth and subtle finish

Good entry rum for this distillery that age this 3yrs old in in re-charred Bourbon barrels,finishing it one more year in new American oak barrels.
ABV 43%

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.
