Rhum Agricole AOC J.M. Millesimo 2008: An Experience of Elegance and Refinement

The new 2008 vintage of the rum agricole AOC from the J.M distillery, aged for 15 years, is finally available. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2024, this rum represents a true treasure of the art of distillation.

The small J.M distillery, founded in 1845 in the northeast of the island of Martinique, has gained worldwide fame throughout its history.

This extraordinary Rhum Agricole is produced exclusively from the pure fermented juice of sugar cane grown on its own land, located on the slopes of the Pellée volcano, exposed to the equatorial sun.

This position allows for better maturation of the sugar cane.

The canes, harvested mechanically, are ground to extract the sugary juice, known as "vesou."

This juice is then left to ferment and distilled in a historic column still.

The J.M. rum is then matured in French Limousin oak barrels, using spring water from the forest surrounding the volcano.

The Contrôlée Martinique designation guarantees that this rum is completely natural, free from additives such as sugar or caramel, and is subject to the rigorous controls of the European Community.

Aged for a minimum of 15 years in ex-bourbon barrels, maturation in Macouba, a picturesque village just steps from the sea, further contributes to the complexity and character of this rum.

The Rhum Agricole J.M. Millesimo 2008 has an alcohol content of 42.4°, preserving its natural refinement.

This authentic and rare rum boasts an exceptional elegance that can compete with the finest Cognacs.

The long aging in French Limousin oak barrels has enhanced the aromas of the sugar cane, softening the spirit without compromising its strength.

During the fifteen years of aging, almost 60% of the rum's volume evaporates, a phenomenon known as "Angel's Share."

The remaining rum, once delicately bottled, maintains a unique aromatic balance.
