Rhum J.M 2006
One reviewer called this "round, dry and elegant," and that fits: a 15-year Martinique agricole where the cane takes a back seat to aged wood, prune and candied cherry, tobacco, leather and a little cocoa. Several tasters wish it were bottled higher than 41.5% — the flavors are all there, just a touch restrained. Long, refined finish for such a modest strength.
The community says- Round and complex
- Long elegant finish

Elegant aged agricole, woody with dark fruit A loved JM vintage — round, woody and complex with dried fruit, tobacco and cocoa. The main gripe: many feel it deserves a higher ABV than 41.5%.

Review by Gregor
Beautiful, pleasant nose. Lots of sweet, dark fruit like plums, dates, blackberry some honey but also leather and some hazelnut / tree nut. On the palate sweet candied cherries, very light ginger. Leather, coffee bean and tobacco replaced by chocolate truffles. Very nice flavors, could be a bit more intense, so for me just under nine.

Review by TheRhumhoe
The 2006 vintage in a leather label from JM, whose reputation is well established. This cuvée perfectly represents the spirit of the house, with an attractive olfactory duel between dried, tropical and candied fruits on one side, wood, sweet spices, cocoa, nuts and toasted notes on the other, with sugarcane in between. An intensely aromatic profile, round and elegant on the nose. On the palate, the rum is assertive despite its relatively low alcohol content (41.5%). Wood, spices such as cinnamon and pepper, cocoa, nuts and toasted notes enhance a palate marked by complexity and sweetness. Exotic fruit, tobacco and sugarcane notes round off this ruthlessly well-executed profile. A round, dry and elegant rum. The long finish returns to more agricultural, floral and vegetal flavors, with strong spices (aniseed), wood and dried fruit. Compared with the 2003 and 2004 vintages, this JM is perhaps a little more gourmand but less diversified. Nonetheless, it remains a very fine vintage that will delight fans of the distillery.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Rhum martiniquais d’exception, le JM 2006 séduit par un nez envoûtant, mêlant bois précieux, pruneau et cerise confite. La bouche, intensément boisée et épicée, dévoile de belles notes de tabac et une touche gourmande de cacao. L’alcool (41,5°) est parfaitement dosé, apportant équilibre et élégance. La finale est longue et remarquable
Review by Djehey
Edit : plus je le goute, plus je l'apprécie. L'oxydation lui fait vraiment du bien. Le nez est plutôt sur les fruits avec une certaine fraîcheur. La bouche est différente : beaucoup plus sombre, les quelques fruits sont devenus confiture d'orange. Les notes boisées et torréfiées dominent. La texture est huileuse. Comme souvent sur cette gamme chez J.M, la présence et la longueur en bouche est toujours aussi remarquable pour un rhum avec à peine plus de 40°.
