Aroma visualization from community tastings
Rhum J.M 2012
Mango, tropical fruit and a soft vanilla-caramel lead the nose here, and most tasters find that part genuinely lovely — datte, figs, integrated oak. The mouth is where opinions split: one member called it "subtle and rather elegant" with bubblegum and fennel, while several found it thin and a touch watery for a 9-year agricole. Aromatic and easy to drink, but light-bodied.
The community says- Expressive tropical nose
- Elegant, easy to sip
- Thin, watery palate

How does Rhum J.M 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 50 community reviews.
Aromatic agricole, gorgeous nose, thinner palate Loved for its expressive tropical-fruit nose and easy drinkability. The common gripe: the palate feels diluted and light, falling short of the aromas, especially at 42.3%.

Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Very nice experience. Very accessible agricultural rum, the aromas are omnipresent and delicate! A great success!
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an complex, aromatic and powerful Agricole vintage Brut de Fut from Rhum J.M that I tasted at the Sweden Rumfest 2023 in Stockholm. I’ve before tasted most of their regular range and liked them all. This vintage doesn’t disappoint either. Rhum J.M is produced up in the northeast of Martinique at the Bellevue Distillery (btw a very common distillery name). It’s an AOC Agricole distilled December 2012 produced from their own sugar cane that’s aged in Limousin oak barrels before bottled in May 2022. So it’s 9yo.

It's always nice to dive back into a J.M.
Review by cigares
A lovely nose of fresh dates, figs, well-integrated oak and a hint of pastry. The palate is disappointing, too thin, diluted with apricot. The finish is medium-bodied, with a herbaceous edge. The empty glass is more on the old varnished wood and pastry side.
Review by Manuel
Ein guter Agricole Rum, der in der Nase wirklich sehr beeindruckend wirkt. Sehr intensiver Geruch nach tropischen Früchten und Gewürzen. Leider fällt er im Geschmack und im Abgang deutlich ab. Hier ist er leider zu flach bzw. zu wässrig.
Review by Nando70
A good to very good rum... A nose combining herbs, licorice and a hint of wood drowned in fruit... A palate that lives up to the nose... With a touch of freshness. A medium to long finish, while retaining the aromatic aspects discovered on the nose...
