Rhum J.M Épices Créoles is part of the Martinique distillery's Atelier series and is billed as the spiciest rhum agricole of the French West Indies: an aged rhum agricole that rests three years in oak and is bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 700ml bottle.
Rhum J.M is produced in Macouba, Martinique, from sugarcane grown on the J.M estate and surrounding farms; the cane is crushed within an hour of harvest and open-fermented before distillation. The Atelier des Rhums series of cocktail-focused releases explores the flavor profiles achieved through different cask treatments: Jardin Fruité shows the rich and fruity side, Fumée Volcanique uses heavy barrel char for smoke, and Épices Créoles is blended to highlight the inherent spiciness of the mixed French and American oak in which it rested, with nothing added.
A nose of brûléed sugar, black peppercorn, ginger and clove meets a spike of fresh ginger juice and cinnamon on the palate, with a finish of lemon verbena and white pepper. Warm baking spices, honey and gingerbread notes give way to toasted oak.
Designed for cocktails, where it brings baking-spice depth.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
