The Rhum J.M 1999 Single Barrel #180012 is an extraordinary and limited release from the prestigious J.M Crassous de Medeuil distillery in Martinique, selected and bottled by Old Brothers & Excellence Rhum. Distilled in 1999 from pure sugar cane juice using a traditional Creole Column still, this rum has been patiently aged for 21 years in tropical conditions, culminating in its 2020 bottling at a cask strength of 43.15% ABV. With a release of only 369 bottles, this 500ml treasure is a collector's delight. This vintage rum showcases a captivating golden-brown hue. On the nose, it opens up with a luxurious bouquet of extravagant tropical fruits, layered beautifully with vanilla-caramelized undertones, and peppery spices. The aroma evolves further, presenting rich cognac-like notes of plum, vanilla, cinnamon, and oak. The palate is an exquisite tapestry of flavors, starting with soft, creamy textures that are impeccably balanced. Bright fruit flavors such as cherry, apple, and pear lead the charge, accompanied by hints of mocha, tannins, and a touch of pepper. Mid-palate, you detect mild citrus, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisin, all harmoniously interwoven. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of burnt wood, typical after 21 years of tropical aging, along with a delightful blend of vanilla, cardamom, crème brûlée, menthol, and a subtle hint of anise star. The overall profile is elegant and balanced, showcasing the expertise and craftsmanship of Rhum J.M. FAQs
