Aged rhum agricole produced by Rhum J.M in Macouba, Martinique

Distilled on a Creole copper column still
Aged 12–14 months on-site at the Fonds-Préville distillery in heavily charred ex-bourbon barrels
The evocative nose recalls grilled apricots in syrup, wood char and wet earth, and toasted marshmallow that has fallen into a campfire. A palate of crushed chili flakes and fresh orange peel finishes with lime oil and an inkling of candy wax; fall spent at a campfire in the woods comes to Martinique.
49% ABV
A bold but balanced proof brings smokey and earthy characteristics into sharp relief in J.M’s sultry Fumée Volcanique (Volcanic Smoke). This expression, designed for cocktailing, will bring delightful dimension to fruit-forward ingredients and red bitters. (But don’t stop there!)
