Rhum JM XO 6-Year

Very good Rhum aricul . It's something for pirates.

Good sipping rhum. Very strong vanilla smell and it smells like there is a lot of sugar in it. Becomes very balanced when you drink it and very long finish with a bit of spices. You can feel that it has been finished in bourbon casks

Selvom det er en rom, så minder den mere om en cognac, men det er jo ikke så mærkeligt, når den også lagres på fade af limousine træ. Slet ikke som andre typer rom, og helt sikkert spændende med Agricole, som er lavet på sukkerrørssaft. Tør og bidende, men på en god måde.

Harmonious and fragrant, it still retains vigor and fruity scents of sugar cane

A solid choice, very different from the JM white (but in a good way). It has subtle and complex flavors and a persistent finish.

Beautiful deep Amber colour. Fruit and nuts to the nose, oak to the palate, alcohol bite, long lingering finish.
Tasted at 45% ABV

Ce xo a beaucoup de gout en bouche.mais il n a pas le cote fort de l alcool.il est plaisant a boire.Il est sur les epices un boise sucre et sur les fruits secs.ce rhum est bien maitrise .Pour moi je prefere le xo de longueteau ou la version 40 eme anniversaire de bielle ou la cuvee speciale xo de clement.mais c un rhum atypique.noye 8.4.

A great sipping Rhum agricole. I enjoyed this very much but it’s expensive so I keep it for special occasions

Color : amber
Flavour : toasted nut, lemon & sage, mango, passion fruit, finish of spice like white pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg
Palate : mid-bodied, long lasting, sweet finish

Aged 100% in re-charred Bourbon barrels, it's an elegant rhum that suits any palate. Very nice paired with dark chocolat or exotic fruits

This was reccommended to me by a bloke in Martinique who made the bold claim that it was the favourite of the island. A bold claim, which I accepted with a pinch of salt, given that he was trying to sell me a bottle. I didn't buy one that day, but got one from Amazon a few months later.
Yes, there is a bit of burn, but once you have had a few sips, it is easily forgiven.
It has spices, and a dryness which isn't unpleasant, even for a lover of sweeter rums, like me.
I think I paid about £45 for it and was sorry to see the last drop fall out of the bottle.
If you haven't tried agricole rum (rhum) yet, this is a very good place to start.
