Rhum J.M Single Barrel 1999

Here's the surprise: 21 years in a tropical climate and it still drinks light — several tasters call it a touch thin, especially the finish. The nose is the highlight, all yellow fruit, apple, quince and a whiff of glue over old oak. Palate turns woody with nutmeg and a dry, herbal agricole edge. Elegant and rounded, but at 43% it fades a little fast.

Elegant old agricole, gorgeous nose, slightly thin Loved for its beautiful fruity-floral nose and elegant old-agricole wood. The recurring gripe: at 43% it drinks a bit watery and thin, and the finish doesn't quite deliver.

RX Kalender 24: das Schwesterfass von RX7561. Der J.M gefällt mir gut an der Nase - Apfel, Quitte, Zimtstange, Frische, altes Eichenfass (alte Kommode). Am Gaumen Muskatnuss, herb, Tanine, trockener Abgang. Der eher niedrige ABV ist hier kein Problem.

RumX Advent Calendar, Day 21. A full, silky nose, with herbal candy, tropical fruit, star fruit, and yellow fruit, quince. The attack on the palate is a little diluted, but immediately the aromas rise and the fruit invades the palate. The herbal sweetness is a little less pronounced, but the vegetal and even menthol notes are more pronounced than on the nose. The finish is long, tasty and fruity, with a pleasant candy-like sweetness.

RumX Adventskalender 2024: Nr. 21 Heute haben wir sehr wahrscheinlich einen Agricole im Kaldender. Wahrscheinlich Martinique. Die sehr typischen pfeffrigen Noten sind hier eher im Hintergrund. Sonst haben wir sehr fruchtige und würzige Einflüsse mit einer leichten Süße. Sehr samtig im Abgang.

Beim öffnen Zitrus, Fass, Nagellack später fruchtig etwas sauer? Nach 15 Minuten dann fruchtig, leichte süße und florale Noten. Im Mund dann sehr gefällig würzig etwas Holz mit eindeutigem Agricol Abgang. Süffig wenngleich etwas dünn

First impression: I’m there with an old agricole as well. Stunning nose with sweet candied fruit and pastry, even immediately after pouning it. Alcohol well integrated, below 50%? Elegant wood. After a while the agricole profile becomes more pronounced as well as some roasted wood. Great rum but it would have been beneficiary if it had some more power too it. With time it’s just a bit too thinn.

Röstig, rauchig mit viel Fasseinfluss. Floral, 43-48%, tropische Lagerung mindestens 10 Jahre. Am Gaumen wieder viel Fasseinfluss, aber auch etwas wässrig. Hier ist er etwas dünn. Insgesamt sehr lecker und easy sipping. Würde auf ein HSE oder Clement mit besonderer Fasslagerung tippen. Edit: Mein erster alter JM. Nase ist ausgezeichnet. Wird immer fruchtiger mit der Zeit. Am Gaumen aber zu dünn. Schade. In Fassstärke wahrscheinlich eine Granate.

Ausgewogene, gut geschmolzene Nase. Für 21 Jahre Lagerung wenig Holz. Hervorragend!! Im Mund wird er dann auf schwierig zu beschreibende Art sehr eigenartig, da gefällt er mir nicht gut. Die Seifennote der Velier Saint James Serie kommt mir in den Sinn. Der Abgang wird in weiterer Folge wieder schöner. Ein Rum mit Höhen und Tiefen, insgesamt aber sehr gut. Dank nach Bonn!!

Nase: alter Agricole, viel Holz, dezente Noten von Caroni Dreck, Walnuss, der Nase Nach ein alter Agricole. Gaumen: ja, agricole bestätigt sich aber überraschend fruchtig und nicht ganz so holzlastig wie ich nach der Nase vermutet hatte. Alkohol im niedrigen Bereich ~46% aber nicht besonders gut integriert. Schwer hier einen konkreten Rum zu benennen.
