Aged rhum agricole produced by Rhum J.M in Macouba, Martinique
AOC Martinique Rhum Vieux Agricole XO (aged in oak for a minimum 6 years)
Distilled from sugarcane juice; sugarcane is grown on the J.M estate and surrounding farms located near the distillery
Sugarcane is crushed within one hour of harvest and open fermented with French baker’s yeast for 24 hours
Distilled on a Creole copper column still
Aged on-site at the Fonds-Préville distillery for 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels and finished for one additional year in French oak
Proofed with spring water sourced from Mt. Pelée
A generous bouquet of figs, dates, and gingerbread leads to tannic hits of pipe tobacco and dried vanilla bean; the grassiness of younger expressions is refined by extended time in wood, leading to tropical depth
No added sugar or coloring
45% ABV
The most opulent of the Rhum J.M lineup makes for the perfect sipper to pair with a cigar, a sunset, or both.
