J.M Rhum Agricole Blanc (White) 50% 700ml
$105.00
Martinique is a French island with the largest number of distilleries in the Eastern Caribbean. Both pot and column stills are used. As on other French islands such as Guadeloupe, both rhum agricole (made from sugar cane juice) and rhum industriel (made from molasses) are produced. These Rums are frequently aged in used French brandy casks for a minimum of three years with 'Rhum vieux' (aged Rum) frequently compared to high-quality French brandies. J.M rum is distilled on Martinique's smallest estate, located in the northeast in Macouba, where the sugar cane grows on 28-degree vertical slopes in rich volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Pelée. Due to its unique location with sea breezes, rainforest, an intense microclimate, and high cloud cover, Rhum J.M. cuts their sugar later than other distilleries (most cut the cane at the end of February or early March, whereas Rhum J.M. does not cut theirs until late March or early April). This practice, combined with the region's peculiar environment are said to be contributing factors to the unique flavour to this unusual rum.

V.S.O.P. Rhum patiently ages in our cellar for a minimum of four years before being bottled in Martinique. The Rhum spends three years in re-charred Bourbon barrels and then is transferred to new American oak barrels for at least one more year before it is ready to be bottled. Its full-bodied and intense flavour makes it the ideal rum to drink neat, with an ice cube, or in cocktails. Tasting Notes: Nose: Exotic fruit notes are dominant in the initial impression (lychee, mango, flambeed banana). The aromatic palette reveals a hint of quince conserve while enhancing the delicate aroma of vanilla bean and a mellow woody undertone.  Palate: Exotic fruit recalls the aromatic notes of this rum, which are heightened on the palate by sweet spices like vanilla and cinnamon. The sweetness of gingerbread and floral honey mingles with slightly smoky roasted and woody notes. The texture is structure and even, with a good balance between the different aromatic notes.  Finish: The finish is structured and harmonious, with a nice balance between all the notes of the nose and palate.  Perfect for sipping or in Old-Fashioned or Manhattan

Rhum Agricole is both a distinctive production methodology and, more recently, an AOC (Appellation of Origin) protected product when produced according to strict criteria in the French protectorates of Martinique and Guadalupe. Primarily the distinction is the use of fresh cane juice instead of molasses or other refined sugar products and column distillation. The results are generally dryer and more aromatic Rums of elegance and refinement. HSE's blanco is reputedly the only rhum/rum in the world which is progressively reduced from the 70% distillate down to 50% alcohol over a period of two years, partly via evaporation. Others typically reduce immediately after distillation, and then bottle shortly after or within a few months. The former technique allows the rhum to 'rest' and develop far longer than any other white rum, preserving the delicate aroma and mouth-feel.
