Product Information

In the finish, caramel and vanilla remain very long, fruit and wood also remain for longer. You must go to the island ! The history of Rhum Agricole is closely tied to the economic shifts in the Caribbean sugar industry. In the late 19th century, as European beet sugar began to dominate the market, cane sugar prices plummeted, leaving Caribbean sugar producers in a bind. Distillers on the French islands turned to distilling rum directly from sugarcane juice as a way to pivot from the declining sugar market, thereby birthing Rhum Agricole. This might be the least known of the Rhum J.M variants in the U.S., as it hasn’t been in our market long. It sits in a bit of an odd position in the company’s lineup, being an aged rhum that has a lot in common with the slightly more expensive V.S.O.P release. Both the V.O and the V.S.O.P weigh in at 43% ABV (86 proof), and spend 3-4 years in American oak. The biggest difference seems to come in exactly how that oak is treated.

Rhum HSE’s Samuel Laborieux gives a master class. In the nose delicate and sweet. Wood toasted with love and doused with caramel previously rubbed with apple peel.

There’s an almost immediate significant alcohol burn on the palate that can be a bit unpleasant, but with repeated trips to the glass it does calm down. Now off my art critic soapbox.

Hazelnuts, dark chocolate, orange peel and roasted coffee beans can all be found in this distinctive rum. Alc 43% Taking a sip, those fruits are the first thing I get, specifically the coconut, mango, banana, and apricot. That’s followed by just a hint of pineapple as well as some good caramel and vanilla notes.
