Rhum JM XO 6-Year

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

Smooth with a bite. Great Rum from Martinique. Nice tour, try to visit when you around

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.

Rhum J.M. XO tastes like many other Agricole but less aggressive, so that’s why I think it’s a good agricole to start with. The flavour are very elegant and you can for example smell citrus, salvia and exotic fruits. In your mouth you will recognise pepper, musqot, cinnamon and a lot of oak.
If you want to test Agricole, try this one!

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.

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

Good rhum agricole which has matured for at least 6 years in oak barrels. Nosing reveals nice spicy, flowery and grassy notes. Palate adds notes of oak and this is continued into the finish, which is quite long, firstly fading away with sweet flowery notes which later turn into oak and smoke. Overall this rhum is relatively powerful and has a stronger burn, e.g. compared to the Montebello 10years.

Very happy to go back to agricole rum with this JM XO. This blend of rum grown old 6 years in bourbon oak barrels has a beautiful gold color with very long legs. Sharp body with spices, exotic fruits and vanilla aroma. Very long afterstate. You can detect the sugar cane at the end. Return to origins !

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

Весь такой натуральный, без сахара, упаковка скромная и стильная, аромат лёгкий с пряностями и кожей, вкус сладковатый, маслянистый, терпкий, вишнёвый, и при этом сухой. Не располагает к длительному приёму, видимо из-за крепости 45 и сильного характера, и это мне нравится!
