My initial response to this rum was that I hate it. It was harsh and chemical tasting with an aftertaste that made me want a drink of water.
After trying several brands of rums, I decided to give it another shot. It isn’t as bad as I thought. As my palate evolves, I get a fruity sweetness and some peppery spice that I find enjoyable.

The initial nose of this rum is still harsh, but if you let it rest a while, you can smell the sugar cane and the spice.
It’s very dry on first sip, with a long burn but the flavors of the rum are now apparent as my palate evolves. It has a brilliant honey finish that lasts a long time, but it’s still not on my list of sippers, despite my changing tastes.
I have had better Agricole rhum but I have also had worse. The VSOP has a burn factor to it from the strong pepper notes as well as form the intense alcohol taste. You definitely get the earthy, grassy taste with some oakiness and some smoke notes as well.
This is an ok rhum to drink straight. The price, however, is too high for a rhum like this.
Een lekker pittige rhum agricole van Martinique's mooiste distilleerderij Rhum J.M. gelegen aan de voet van de vulkaan Pelée en vlak bij de Atlantische oceaan.
Het gekapte suikerriet wordt binnen een uur geperst en het sap in de fermentatie tank gepompt. Na een korte vergistingaperiode wordt er gedistilleerd in dubbele column stills. Een drietal jaar op ex-bourbon vaten later levert een rhum op met die typische 'grassige' agricole smaak maar ook rokerig eikenhout en specerijen als peper, kaneel, noten en fruitige tonen als banaan en grapefruit.
Een lichte en droge rum gebotteld op 43% abv (die merk je op) waar niet mee 'geknoeid' is want dat is tegen de wet op Martinique.
Different flavour to anything else ... Damp flavour that's on its own ...
I like Rhum JM and this one is a great sipper, and also for a good punch vieux. Lots of flavor and smooth.
A very good aged agricole style rum. It's my favorite aged agricole so far to sip.
Drinkable rum with good aroma, a good present......
Enjoyed on March 30, 2024 at our home Tiki Bar - King Kahuna Lounge
Nose: More alcohol forward and vegetation on the nose compared to other aged JM
Taste/Palate: Tropical notes with ripe banana playing a role. Wood and spice l.
Finish: Balanced with some pepper finish.
Rhum Agricole doux et caramélisé , goût très accessible pour les non initiés du rhum agricole .
Excellent rhum vieux agricole. I should start by saying I'm a big fan of Rhum JM but that aside, I don't feel like the average 6.8 rating does this justice at all. It has a lot of oak, and maybe that's what turns some off, but it is peppery, buttery, smooth, dry, and has a great finish. I do prefer unaged agricoles for their grassiness, and the notes come back in the long finish of this vsop. Delightful. Complexity of an armagnac, and an intoxicating nose. I recommend drinking this one slowly, it changes beautifully in the glass as you go.

The pallete doesn't fit in with the aromas or finish, otherwise this would be really nice! On the nose you get cherry cola, with vanilla coming out more as it airs. In the mouth however, it's just wood and grass, with a slightly hot and oily feel. I don't really know how the aromas and taste can differ so drastically, but they clearly find a way! Then on the finish, there are creamy notes of vanilla, marshmallow and raisin. Should I find myself in the mood for agricole, I would happily turn to this bottle. It's just that with so many more frankly more enjoyable non-ag rums out there, I don't see myself ever pining for agricole, which really makes the previous statement moot.
