Rhum J.M Vieux Agricole Millesime 2003 10 year 750 ml
About this bottle
Rhum J.M Vieux Agricole Millésime 2003 is a vintage-dated rhum agricole from Martinique, distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses and protected under Martinique's AOC, the same appellation system used for French wine. This batch was distilled in 2003, aged a full ten years in re-charred bourbon barrels, and bottled at cask strength, 41.9% ABV, without dilution down to a standard proof. Expect a heavier, more grassy character than a typical column-still rum, with leather, toasted wood, and dried tobacco layered over the vegetal cane funk, finishing long and dry rather than sweet. It's built for someone who already drinks agricole and wants a specific vintage to compare against, not a first rum.
How to drink Rhum J.M Vieux Agricole Millésime 2003
Neat is how this one's meant to be tasted, but if you want to see the agricole style at work in a cocktail, a Ti Punch, rhum, a little cane syrup, a twist of lime, is the classic Martinique pour and lets this vintage show through.
