Rhum J.M Single Barrel (Kirsch Whisky) 2015
One taster sums it up: "Kirsch und J.M passt einfach." This leans to the dark, spicy end of agricole — intense oak from nose to finish, burnt sugar, vanilla and a quiet thread of cherry and dried fruit. For a Martinique rum it's surprisingly low on grass and flowers; the wood and spice do the talking. Most find the 54.2% pleasant, though a few catch the alcohol poking through.
The community says- Long spicy finish
- Toasted oak depth
- Alcohol a bit sharp

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Dark, spicy oak-forward agricole single barrel Fans of J.M's house style rate it a reliably good, drinkable pour — spicy and woody rather than complex. The one recurring gripe: alcohol integration could be tighter.

Sehr schöne Farbe (Kupferrot). Sehr gute Nase. Schön ausgewogen, gute Trinkstärke. Leichte Lösungsmittel, getrocknete und rote Früchte. Holzig, geröstet, stark würzig. Vanille, Karamell. Im Mund sehr kräftig und sehr würzig. Etwas alkoholisch. Schöner Abgang, lang und würzig. Ganz im Stil des Hauses. Kräftig, würzig (das hatten wir schon). Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Very intense wood flavors from nose to finish. Burnt sugar and (red) fruit on the nose. The very long-lasting spiciness is added on the palate, and I also taste cherry. The alcohol is a little too overpowering. Overall, the typical Rhum J.M flavors are present; for me, however, only a medium-class bottling
Review by zabo
Obwohl ich ja nicht, wie jedem bekannt ist, der aller größte Agricole Fan bin, muss ich sagen, schmeckt mir dieser recht gut. Die Trinkstärke finde ich sehr angenehm. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist mehr als o.k.

Review by Leo Krüper
Kirsch and J.M simply go together. Beautiful medium-aged bottling at a solid drinking strength.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein Rhum J. M der mehr auf der dunklen würzigen Seite unterwegs..Fruchtaromen in Form getrockneter Früchte sind nur dezent wahrzunehmen..dieses setzt sich von der Nase bis zum Abgang durch. Einguter J. M, allerdings nicht sonderlich komplex
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
Great roasted flavors/spiciness with vanilla and light fruitiness. Surprisingly little grassy and floral for Martinique. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Very nice bottling.
Review by Buddudharma
J.M ist eines meiner Lieblingsprofile aus der Agricole-Welt. Die Rums sind zwar meist nicht über-spektakulär (=> 90 Punkte), aber wunderbar zu trinken und von verlässlich hoher Qualität. So auch hier. Die französische Eiche sorgt dafür, dass die Vanille nicht zu stark im Vordergrund steht und eher der würzig-trockene Charakter durchkommt. Alkoholintegration ist die einzige Schwachstelle, ist zwar nicht furchtbar, hatten wir aber auch schon besser.

Review by Grain‘n‘Cane
In der Nase direkt Honigsüße und karamellisierte Ananas, gefolgt von Vanille und Holz. Am Gaumen kommt kurz deutlich Vanille, schnell gefolgt von intensiven Holzaromen, die jedoch leicht muffig daher kommen. Auch überreife Kirsche ist wahrnehmbar. Die Holzigkeit bleibt mit einer gewissen Würze am Gaumen und endet langanhaltend mit dem Aroma von Vanilleschoten.
