J.M Cuvée Du Fondateur

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

J.M Cuvée Du Fondateur is extremely smooth. Deep mahogany color and a reddish-brown hue like brilliant sapphire. Sweet traces of sherry lift the heavier caramel rum aromas and subsequently reveal nuts (pecan), vanilla, charred wood, and dried fruit (raisins, figs, dates, plums, black cherries). Then come 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 and hints of tobacco.
