Aroma visualization from community tastings
Rhum J.M VO
Apple and honey up front, with warm spice, oak and a grassy, earthy agricole backbone that stays fairly gentle. Several tasters flag leather and toasted, roasted notes in the finish. Members call it a "très bon rhum de base" — a well-made, easy entry into aged Martinique agricole that's more balanced than most 3-year-olds, even if the profile stays a touch linear.

The fruit stands out and lingers. This is definitely a good sipper, and loom forward to enjoying this bottle. I often like to use my bottles to mix cocktails with, but the subtle flavors of stone fruits and wood will probably get overpowered. Overall, a very balanced rum that smooth the whole way through.

Prijs/kwaliteit een goed product, een mooie ronde rhum agricole. Qua smaak is het echter niet mijn ding
Review by Stefan Persson
It’s aged for 3 years in new oak barrels and finished for a short time in former Bourbon casks. It’s, as all J.M’s, in their standard line up, a good entrance to the world of Agricole’s. The nose is floral and woody with aromas of grass, oak and bourbon. At the palate the aromas comes back as flavors plus that there are flavors of sugarcane and smoke.

#5031 05.01.2025 Enjoying a few samples at home. Nose Round, wood, light roasted, cinnamon, spice, light sour, light grass, fruits. Palate Round, wood, light roasted, naturally sweet, light cinnamon, light tannins, faint grass, light spicy, faint banana. Finish Medium to long, wood, fruits, naturally sweet, faint smoke, light pineapple. The empty glass has a light burn note with light mint and citrus.
Review by Daniel
Herrlich fruchtige Noten von Apfel und Weißwein, ebenso Holz. Im Hintergrund Klebstoff und Honig zu erkennen. Die Frucht dominiert auch im Geschmack, der Apfel ist deutlich wahrnehmbar und wird nach kurzer Zeit vom imposanten Honigauftritt abgelöst. Leichte Holzbeiklänge. Zum langanhaltenden Honig gesellt sich mit der Zeit Leder. Fruchtiger und milder Agricole.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un ancien JM de gamme permanente, la production de celui-ci semble s’être arrêtée pour le moment. C’est dommage, car pour un VO ce JM présente un nez parfumé avec un beau boisé, des épices un peu chaudes (piment, vanille) et mielleuses, le tout avec une touche de fraîcheur sur les fruits, notamment la pomme et la pêche. Un nez plutôt abouti pour un rhum si jeune. L’attaque en bouche poursuit sa lancée avec des notes plus rôties et toastées, plus terreuses et végétales également. On y décèle la canne à sucre, le cuir, la pomme et toujours ce duo boisé et épicé qui embaume le palais. Le côté agricole n’est pas trop dominant, ce qui est plutôt appréciable. L’alcool est bien maîtrisé, même si le degré est déjà bas. La finale s’en sort plutôt bien avec la cannelle, des notes épicées et toastées, un peu plus de verdure mais une pomme toujours présente, marquée de notes confites sur le miel. Le profil gagne en équilibre au fur et à mesure. Un profil un peu linéaire mais qui a le mérite d’être un très bon rhum de base. Encore une fois, il est dommage que ce type de rhum ne soit pas disponible continuellement.
Review by Jarrod Smith
Earthy and fresh nose and taste with a slightly oaky finish. Fairly complex and balanced flavors for a 3yo spirit.
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
A bit harsh, but with plenty of interesting fruit, wine, and spice notes. Particularly spicy finish. Vegetal throughout.
Review by elias
Im Abgang starker Ledergeschmack.
Review by Renato
A full-bodied rum, with a very pleasant oily side that is surprising for its young age.
Review by Richard Krupa
Drevo a korek, obycejny agricole co mi moc nechutna
Review by passlemix
Touché à 35 euros. C'est un excellent choix à ce prix là. Un agricole dans la pure tradition gustative, lisible et facile. Vraiment pas grand chose à lui reprocher pour le prix. Très bien pur mais fait aussi d'excellent ty vieux. Comme souvent sur les jus boisés, oublier un peu la bouteille au fond du bar lui fait du bien.

netter Rum aber nicht mein Geschmack zu unausgewogen
