Rhum JM XO Vieux 70cl

Key Features and Maturation Excellence

• AOC Martinique XO: Strictly adheres to the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée standards, ensuring the rhum is aged for at least six years in the local climate.

• Ex-Bourbon Barrel Aging: The use of charred American oak imparts a signature profile of vanilla and toasted wood while allowing the dark fruit notes to develop.

• Volcanic Terroir: Sourced from estate-grown sugarcane that thrives in the mineral-dense soil of Mount Pelée, providing a unique "savory" backbone.

• Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Elegant and complex. Rich aromas of honeyed nuts, cinnamon, and vanilla are intertwined with the scent of preserved tropical fruits.

  • Palate: A decadent and "jammy" mouthfeel. Expect a rich tapestry of dried fruits, apricot jam, and dates, followed by a burst of warm spices and gingerbread.

  • Finish: Long, smooth, and refined. It leaves a lingering trail of toasted oak, tobacco, and dark cocoa.

• The "Prestige" Pairing: Pairs beautifully with aged Blue cheese, dried figs, or caramelized walnuts.
