  Rhum JM Shrubb D'Orange Martinique Liqueur Rum 35%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18955

  Shrubb is an old Caribbean tradition where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for weeks. Rhum JM's version adds spice and vanilla to the mix, creating a liqueur far more complex than the name suggests.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with bitter orange peel and bottled at 35%.

  The base is a blend of white rum and three-year-old cask-aged rum from the Fonds-Préville distillery, macerated with bitter orange peel, natural cane syrup, and vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg for several weeks. The shrubb tradition dates back to a time when Caribbean households used citrus peel maceration in rum as a way to make full use of the fruit, long before it became a cocktail ingredient.

  The result is a liqueur that sits somewhere between an English orange marmalade and a spiced digestif, where the mild agricole rum binds the orange's bitterness together with sweetness and spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Candied orange peel and cranberry-orange muffin, opening toward a bright orange sorbet.

  Palate

  Sweet and fruity with candied orange and spice, harmoniously woven into the mild agricole rum.

  Finish

  Long with a lively hint of lime zest and freshly grated nutmeg.

  Rhum JM VO Rhum Agricole Martinique Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18952

  In the shadow of Mount Pelée, where the soil is black with volcanic ash, sits one of Martinique's oldest distilleries. Rhum JM is considered by many to be the first to ever put Rhum Agricole into production, and VO is the house's accessible entry point into the older, cask-aged style.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM VO is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged in oak casks on volcanic terroir and bottled at 43%.

  The rum is distilled at the Fonds-Préville distillery in Macouba, in the northeast of Martinique, where Rhum JM has been producing since 1845. The distillery sits at the foot of the active volcano Mount Pelée, and the volcanic soil is thought to give the sugar cane a particular mineral richness that later shows through in the rum. VO is the house's youngest cask-aged expression and a fitting starting point for exploring the older style.

  After a short period in oak, the rum takes on a character that's lighter and more straightforward than the older VSOP and XO expressions, but already carries clear traces of wood and spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Heavy with oak and vanilla, complemented by dried fruit and coconut, opening with time in the glass toward grilled tropical fruit.

  Palate

  Round and lightly toasted with natural sweetness, a hint of cinnamon, faint grassy character and a touch of banana.

  Finish

  Medium length with oak, fruit and natural sweetness, where a faint smokiness and pineapple appear towards the end.

  Did You Know?

  Rhum JM is considered by many to be the first distillery to officially put Rhum Agricole into production, and it sits so close to Mount Pelée that the 1902 eruption that destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre could be seen directly from the fields.

  Rhum JM VSOP Rhum Agricole Martinique Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18953

  Two kinds of cask, two stretches of time. Rhum JM VSOP rests first in used bourbon barrels for three years, before being transferred to brand new American oak casks for another year, a double maturation that gives it more body than the house's younger VO.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM VSOP is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged four years in ex-bourbon and new oak casks, bottled at 43%.

  The rum comes from the Fonds-Préville distillery in Macouba, Martinique's smallest "rhumerie", which sits at the foot of the volcano Mount Pelée. After distillation the rum rests briefly in steel tanks before being aged three years in used bourbon barrels and then around a year more in brand new American oak casks, a combination that gives VSOP a markedly deeper and more complex profile than the house's younger VO.

  The new oak casks impart a clear wood sweetness and spice that complement the green, herbal character of the fresh cane juice without overpowering it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Nutty richness with cinnamon and clove, carried by bright cane and grass, complemented by ripe banana and mango.

  Palate

  Spiced butter and lemony caramel, oily and sweet with toasted oak, brown sugar and rich caramel.

  Finish

  Smooth and light, with a lingering hint of chocolate and a dry finish of hay and black tea.

  Did You Know?

  Fonds-Préville is considered Martinique's smallest "rhumerie", yet also one of the most respected, in part because the distillery sits on the very land where Rhum JM's founder Jean-Marie Martin converted a sugar factory into a distillery in 1845.
