J.M Cuvée 1845

A special edition, Rhum Agricole Vieux Cuvée of Founder rum from J.M, was named in honor of the distillery's founder, Monsieur Jean-Marie Martin. An exceptional marriage of selected vintages, each older than ten years.

J.M 1845 Cuvée Du Fondateur is extremely smooth. Deep mahogany with a reddish brown hue, like brilliant sapphire color. Sweet traces of sherry lift the heavier caramel rum aromas, revealing nuts (pecan) and vanilla. Some charred wood and dried fruit (raisins, figs, dates, plums, and black cherries). Then comes slightly earthy, musty, and tannic scents where sugar cane meets oak and old leather. The initial taste wows from the complexity of fine rum blended with sherry depth, delivering herbaceous and sweet flavors without being cloying, fruity, and substantial, and some spice (nutmeg, allspice) to enhance the flavors. A medium-heavy body sets up a finely balanced, long-duration finish that enables you to savor more lightly charred oak hints of tobacco.
