The Rhum J.M 1997 Martinique 15 Year Old is an exceptional rum produced from fresh sugarcane juice sourced from the unique micro-climate at the foot of Mount Pelee. This terroir imparts an extraordinary aromatic potential to the sugarcane, which is then passed on to the rum. Distilled at the renowned Rhum J.M distillery, the rum is aged for 15 years in oak barrels, further enhancing its complexity and flavor profile.
This exquisite rum is non-chill filtered and bottled directly from the cask without any added water or adjustments, showcasing the distillery's unwavering commitment to quality. The result is a powerful and intense rum with a beautiful crystalline appearance and a golden hue with coppery reflections.
On the nose, the rum offers a complex aroma of citrus, cinnamon, ginger, and pepper. The palate is treated to a round and smooth texture, perfectly balancing dryness with a long, spicy finish. The rum's intense aromas of spices, wood, and herbs are well-balanced, making it a truly unique and exceptional experience.
This limited edition rum is a testament to the exceptional quality of the Rhum J.M distillery and the unique terroir of Martinique. The year 1997 was a particularly exceptional year for sugarcane, making this millésime a truly special one.
Similar to the 1996 edition, the 1997 version offers an exceptional experience, although with slightly lighter leather notes. It is still considered a great success.
While some reviewers feel it could use a bit more intensity ("watts"), it is still highly regarded for its flavor profile and complexity.
Reviewers appreciate the Rhum J.M 1997 for its remarkable similarity to the 1996 edition, highlighting its complex flavors and aromas. While it is praised for its quality, some feel it could benefit from a bit more intensity. Overall, it is considered a successful and exceptional rum.
