The nose opens with overwhelming aromas of fresh lime, honey, and cane flower are balanced with more savory vegetal notes and a beautiful expression of anise - unique to Rhum J.M. Round and sweet on the palate, honey and cane flowers really shine through. The stewed banana and grilled pineapple, the signature of Rhum J.M, is ever present as well as the unmistakable vegetal and mineral undertones.
Rhum J.M Terroir Volcanique is a unique expression that utilizes our on-site cooperage to carry out a double-char process resulting in a complex extraction of wood flavors.
Through innovative techniques of barrel toasting and blending, Master Blender Karine Lassalle is able to create a blended symphony of three-year-old rums that perfectly capture the terroir of the volcano. Smoke and earth are complimented by spice and brûléed tropical fruit in this exceptional and complex spirit.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
Orange peel and toasted almond lead the nose. The lively palate offers lots of vanilla and caramel up front, drying into hints of leather and cigar wrapper. The finish shows a faint but refreshing bell pepper-like vegetal exhale. -K.N.
