Rhum JM - VSOP Martinique Aged Rum
An exquisite and complex favorite amongst the biggest rum connoisseurs in the world, Rhum J.M VSOP is aged for 3 years in new American oak then rested in a combination of ex-Bourbon and French oak an additional year before being blended and bottled. This results in an intensely structured palate and a spicy, nougaty richness.
The glorious J.M V.S.O.P. is created by aging rhum 3 years in re-charred Bourbon barrels and finishing the rhum an additional year in lightly toasted new American oak barrels and finally reduced to 43 % ABV with pure volcanic spring water from Habitation Bellevue to create an extraordinary aged rhum that retains qualities of the natural terroir and sugarcane of Habitation Bellevue.
Nose: The nose is dominated by exotic fruit and quince paste followed by vanilla bean and wood.
Palate: The exotic fruit aromas are embellished further on the palate and complimented with lavender and cinnamon. Further exploration will reveal gingerbread, honey, and woody smoke creating a nice balance of structure and harmony.
