Rhum J.M VSOP is a premium agricole rum that has been meticulously aged for a minimum of three years in re-charred Bourbon barrels, followed by finishing in lightly toasted virgin American oak. This careful aging process imparts a rich and elegant profile to the rum, delivering a long and powerful finish characterized by a peppery note that transitions into dry barrel and tobacco flavors, with a slightly tannic quality and subsequent hints of brown sugar.
On the nose, Rhum J.M VSOP offers a well-balanced bouquet of aromas, including banana, smoky notes, caramel, floral accents, vanilla, and sugarcane. The alcohol presence is very discreet, allowing these complex aromas to shine. On the palate, the rum reveals a less fruity, more woody character with pronounced toasted and tobacco notes. Coffee and spices, such as pepper and vanilla, also play significant roles, contributing to a multi-layered tasting experience.
Produced by J.M Crassous de Medeuil, the oldest and smallest operating rum distillery on the island of Martinique, Rhum J.M VSOP stands as a testament to the distillery's long-standing tradition of quality. This distillery, located on the historic Habitation Bellevue, draws its pure spring water from the volcanic soil, adding a unique element to the rum's production process. The distillery's history dates back to 1845, when Jean-Marie Martin, a French merchant, purchased the Zuckerrohrfarm Fonds-Preville in Macouba. Known for its high-quality sugar, the farm became the foundation for Martin’s rum production, which he aged in oak barrels branded with his initials, a tradition that continues to this day.
