The Rhum J.M 1999 is a distinguished 15-year aged rum from the renowned J.M Crassous de Medeuil Distillery in Martinique. This exquisite rum is crafted from pure sugar cane juice using a Creole Column still, achieving an ABV of 42.6%. This 1999 vintage was aged in the distillery’s cellars for 15 years before being carefully bottled in 2015, resulting in a limited edition that showcases the essence of the Macouba region in northern Martinique.
The experience begins with a delightful nose that combines complex aromas of vanilla, honey, cinnamon, marmalade, dried apricot, and a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, the rum offers a fascinating blend of cinnamon, oak, apple, green pepper, and a touch of spice, creating a unique tasting profile. The finish is long and warm, transitioning from an intense start to more subdued oaky notes with a slight hint of bitterness. The aftertaste introduces an intriguing note of licorice.
One of the unique characteristics of this rum is its balance of aromas, which includes oak, orange, vanilla, cocoa, peppery nuances, vegetal notes, and dried fruits. However, the palate presents a more pronounced alcohol taste and predominantly vegetal tones, with the oak emerging after a few moments. Despite some of the rich aromas from the nose being less pronounced on the palate, this rum still offers a warm, gourmet profile.
Packaged in a bottle adorned with a beautiful leather label exclusive to JM's premium rums, the Rhum J.M 1999 is appreciated for its pleasant and unique aromas and flavors. While some users find it slightly too diluted, it retains a charming complexity that oscillates between the elegance of an aged rum and a more indulgent profile.
