Rhum J.M 2002 Martinique 12yo 46.3% 700ml is a distinguished vintage agricole from the renowned Rhum J.M distillery based in Macouba, the northernmost part of Martinique. Aged for 12 years, this exquisite rum boasts an ABV of 46.3% and comes in a 700 ml bottle. Crafted with a unique charring process of the barrels using high proof rhum, it offers a mellow and nuanced profile that is sure to captivate any rum enthusiast. On the nose, the Rhum J.M 2002 greets you with delightful aromas of dried fruits such as apricot and raspberry, intertwined with woody notes of oak, caramel, vanilla, and sugarcane. The palate is a harmonious blend of flavors including vanilla, toasted and roasted undertones, fruity hints of mango and yellow fruits, coupled with spices, caramel, coffee, and cocoa. Its long finish is marked by a combination of fruity, herbal, earthy, and medicinal notes, all wrapped in a slight hint of barrel and cocoa. While this agricole rum is appreciated for its fruity and sweet profile, the integration of alcohol is not flawless, and some might find a slight bitterness in the finish. Despite this, it's a commendable choice for those who enjoy fruity agricoles and prefer sipping over mixing. It has been rated 87/100 and is often highlighted as an excellent starting point in any tasting lineup. When compared to other expressions like the Maison La Mauny 2005 and Depaz XO Cuvée Grand Saint-Pierre, the Rhum J.M Vieux 2002 stands out for its fruitiness and approachable nature.
