J.M. Rhum Agricole Vieux V.S.O.P. — A Rum from an Ancient and Refined House

J.M. Rhum Agricole Vieux V.S.O.P. represents the pinnacle of Martinique's agricultural rum production, offering a tasting experience rich in history, quality, and sophistication.

This aged V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale) rum embodies the art of masterful distillation and patient maturation, yielding a product of great character and complexity.

Produced by the iconic J.M. distillery, founded on the island of Martinique, Rhum Agricole Vieux V.S.O.P. is crafted exclusively from fresh sugarcane juice, a traditional method that preserves the authentic and vibrant characteristics of the raw material.

The small J.M. distillery was founded in 1845 in the northeast of Martinique and has gained worldwide fame over the course of its existence.

This premium "Rhum Agricole" is distilled exclusively from the pure fermented juice of sugarcane grown on their own land, perched on the slopes of the volcano and facing the equator.

This allows for better maturation of the sugarcane.

The mechanically harvested canes are ground to extract the sugary juice, the "vesou." This is then left to ferment, then distilled using a historic column still.

The rum is then aged in their own Limousin oak barrels and blended with spring water from the forest, a natural park surrounding the Martinique volcano.

The Contrôlée Martinique designation means that it is a rum without added sugar or caramel, and this controlled designation is subject to strict European Community controls.

Its maturation in fine wood barrels for at least 4-6 years gives the rum a complex aromatic profile and a smooth character, perfect for connoisseurs.

It has been aged for at least five years in Bourbon barrels, which takes place in Macouba, Martinique, near the sea and at the foot of the volcano.

It holds 50% refined natural alcohol content when it is created and placed in barrel.

Its freshness and balance make it an ideal rum to enjoy as an aperitif.
