Rhum agricole from Martinique, made by renowned distillers Rhum J.M., whom grow their own sugar cane for their spirits. The VSOP is a tasty expression which is matured for three years in re-charred Bourbon barrels. Following this, it is finished in lightly toasted virgin American oak barrels for another year before it is bottled.
Butterscotch, vanilla and cinnamon. Plenty of oak notes.
Oily and sweet with a core of toasty oak notes. Subtle grassy notes, brown sugar and rich toffee.
Lingering hints of chocolate.
A good introduction to the sweet, grassy world of rhum agricole.
Really bad. I thought it was whiskey when I smelled it at first. But upon tasting, literally like sipping diesel, I can’t get rid of the stuff though no-one will drink it.
