Rhum JM VSOP 4-Year

VSOP at 4 years might be generous. It isn't bad, it just isn't great. It has a smoky, spicy undertone and more bite than smoothness. It is probably over priced as a sipper and too expensive for a mixer. I have definitely had better at this price point. Dooley's 13 year at have the price is twice the rum.

There's a lot of nice flavor and depth, but overall it's still subtle. It's good for sipping or mixing. Got a little bit of heat

Agricole... Very different color, feel and taste then most other rums. Pale, some solid burn, a bit harsh, heavy notes of oak with smoke/char, almost peppery. The finish was brief. Overall the taste was thin and almost astringent to me.

I good representation of the style, but not my favorite thing.

Gennemsnitlig agricole. Jeg bruger den mest til cocktail. men kan sagtens sippes, jeg er dog mere til Clement

Excellent rhum vieux agricole. I should start by saying I'm a big fan of Rhum JM but that aside, I don't feel like the average 6.8 rating does this justice at all. It has a lot of oak, and maybe that's what turns some off, but it is peppery, buttery, smooth, dry, and has a great finish. I do prefer unaged agricoles for their grassiness, and the notes come back in the long finish of this vsop. Delightful. Complexity of an armagnac, and an intoxicating nose. I recommend drinking this one slowly, it changes beautifully in the glass as you go.

Rhum Agricole doux et caramélisé , goût très accessible pour les non initiés du rhum agricole .

Enjoyed on March 30, 2024 at our home Tiki Bar - King Kahuna Lounge

Nose: More alcohol forward and vegetation on the nose compared to other aged JM

Taste/Palate: Tropical notes with ripe banana playing a role. Wood and spice l.

Finish: Balanced with some pepper finish.

Drinkable rum with good aroma, a good present......
