Heady char on the nose with a burnt vanilla undertone. On the palate, there is a slight creosote character giving it the character of a campfire. The rum itself balances out the deep woodiness and ethereal smokiness, making this a well balanced and excellent spirit for use in tropical cocktails. There is a lot of body here, and the finish goes on for miles. We also like this one over a single rock as a contemplative post-dinner drink in place of a Scotch whisky. A welcome addition to the Rhum J.M. portfolio and one that you will want to add to your backbar aresenal.
Rhum J.M Terroir Volcanique
About this bottle
This Rhum Vieux Agricole from Rhum J.M is made from a blend of rums aged for at least 3 years in new American oak barrels crafted at the distillery's own cooperage. Notably, the barrels feature two unique custom heavy toasts including a deep alligator char which is meant to impart a peat-like flavor as a nod to the terroir of the volcano. Terroir Volcanique is launching in the US in time for Earth Day 2023. (SRP $42.99)

Near Perfection for the age. A superb young agricol rhum with a sunny and rich fruity aromatic tastes. Good length. So for this category it is amazing ! Aroma, flavours, and alcool are very finely mixed.
