Rhum J.M VSOP | 70cl

The Master of Balance: A Dual-Oak Aged Classic

Rhum J.M VSOP is one of the most celebrated expressions from the Fonds-Préville distillery in Macouba. This "Very Superior Old Pale" rhum is a testament to the distillery's meticulous aging process, utilizing a two-stage maturation cycle that sets it apart from other VSOPs in the category. Produced from 100% estate-grown sugarcane at the base of Mount Pelée, it offers a refined bridge between the raw power of unaged rhum and the deep complexity of long-matured vintages.

The secret to this "tasty expression" lies in its treatment of wood. It is first matured for three years in re-charred Bourbon barrels, which provides a rich, spicy foundation. It is then finished for one additional year in lightly toasted virgin American oak barrels. This final flourish adds a creamy, "oily" texture and a layer of fresh vanilla that perfectly complements the signature grassy heart of J.M.

Key Features and Maturation Excellence

Dual-Wood Maturation: A unique 4-year aging process (3 years in re-charred Bourbon barrels + 1 year in virgin American oak).
Volcanic Terroir: Sourced from sugarcane grown in mineral-rich soil, providing a robust and earthy backbone.
AOC Martinique Certified: Ensures a high-quality, additive-free spirit distilled from 100% fresh sugarcane juice.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Inviting and aromatic. Dominant scents of butterscotch, vanilla, and cinnamon are supported by a heavy presence of toasty oak.
- Palate: Rich, oily, and sweet. A central core of toasty oak is balanced by the classic grassy hints of agricole rhum, brown sugar, and rich toffee.
- Finish: Smooth and persistent. Lingering notes of creamy chocolate provide a satisfying conclusion.
- Overall: A quintessential "introduction to the sweet, grassy world of rhum agricole."

Serving Suggestions

The Elevated Ti' Punch: While typically made with white rhum, a VSOP Ti' Punch (using a small amount of honey instead of cane syrup) creates a much deeper, woodier experience.
The "J.M" Old Fashioned: The rich butterscotch and toffee notes make this an ideal candidate for an Old Fashioned. Use orange bitters to highlight the vanilla.
Neat Sipper: The 43% ABV and oily texture make this exceptionally smooth to drink neat. It is the perfect "everyday" sipping rhum for enthusiasts.
Gourmet Pairing: Complements salted caramel desserts, pecan tarts, or milk chocolate with sea salt.
