Rhum J.M Vieux Millésime 2012 | 70cl

A Decade of Volcanic Elegance: The 10-Year Vintage

The Rhum J.M Vieux Millésime 2012 is a testament to the patient maturation process at the Fonds-Préville distillery. Produced in limited quantities, this single-vintage expression spent a full 10 years aging in ex-Bourbon casks within the tropical microclimate of northern Martinique. The decade-long slumber in American oak has transformed the bright, mineral-rich volcanic spirit into a sophisticated liquid of remarkable depth.

In 2012, the sugarcane harvested at the base of Mount Pelée benefited from ideal conditions, providing a robust foundation for long-term aging. This release is celebrated for its "dark" and "roasted" profile, moving away from the fresh greenery of youth into a world of rich confection, dried fruits, and toasted nuts. It is a quintessential "meditation rhum," designed for those who appreciate the slower side of Martinique’s craftsmanship.

Key Features and 10-Year Maturation

Single Vintage 2012: A snapshot of a specific harvest year, highlighting the unique character of the 2012 sugarcane crop.
10-Year Tropical Aging: Aged significantly longer than the standard VO or VSOP expressions, resulting in a more concentrated and woody profile.
Limited Edition Release: Produced in small batches, making it a sought-after bottle for J.M enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich, dark, and inviting. Dominant aromas of dark chocolate and stewed tropical fruits (like caramelized pineapple) are balanced by a smooth vanilla creaminess.
- Palate: Full-bodied and complex. A deep core of dark roast coffee and dried figs is layered with the nutty crunch of toasted almonds.
- Finish: Long and indulgent. The finish echoes the roasted coffee and dark cocoa, leaving a lingering, sophisticated warmth.

Serving Suggestions

The Purist's Glass: Enjoy neat in a tulip glass. This allows the complex "stewed fruit" and "coffee" notes to concentrate and reveal themselves as the rhum warms slightly in your hand.
The "Mocha" Pairing: This vintage is spectacular when paired with dark chocolate truffles or a high-quality espresso. The roasted notes in the rhum and the coffee complement each other perfectly.
A Nightcap with Character: The dried fig and almond notes make it an ideal end-of-evening sipper, perhaps accompanied by a hand-rolled cigar or a selection of dried fruits and nuts.
The Collector's Vertical: Compare this to the 2005 Millésime to experience how seven years of vintage difference and the aging duration impact the final spirit.
