J.M. Rhum Agricole Fumée Volcanique Vol.49% Cl.70

The refined and smoked Rhum J.M. Fumée Volcanique completes a trio released in 2020 as an Atelier series by J.M.

Like Jardin Fruité (fruity) and Epices Creoles (spicy), this sugar cane juice rum lives up to its name: refined rum with smoky, green, wild hints.

Rum aged in wood for 12/14 months in Bourbon barrels, roasting takes place inside the J.M distillery; intense aromatic profile.

The small J.M distillery was founded in 1845 in the north-east of the island of Martinique and has gained world fame throughout its existence.

This top "Rhum Agricole" is distilled exclusively from the pure fermented juice of the sugar cane of its land, perched on the slopes of the volcano and facing the equator.

This allows a better maturation of the sugar cane.

The reeds, mechanically harvested, are ground to extract the sugary juice, the "vesou".

This is then left to ferment, then distilled with a column still ... historic.

The rum j.m. it is then aged in its own Limousin oak barrels and mixed with spring water from the forest, a natural park that surrounds the Martinique volcano.

The Rum Atelier is a line dedicated to Mixology, the result of an unprecedented use of barrels, expertly orchestrated by Karine Lassalle, Maître de Chai J.M.

The different rums arise from the study of the multiple characteristics offered by the different juices, heating techniques,

the type of wood and the size of the barrels; there are three blends, with exceptional and singular aromatic profiles, which form the "Atelier dei Rum" range, developed together with Joseph Akhavan, founder and head bartender of the well-known Mabel cocktail bar in Paris.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is sweet and bewitching with smoky and salted butter caramel notes.

When blended, the character of the white agricultural rum is combined with lime, sugar cane flower, honey and anise.

The palate is characterized by the creaminess and volume of the smoky notes. Honey, anise and toasted notes bring a nice texture.

The finish is long and on smoky notes.
