Description

 

 

 

 

The birth of JM rums begins in the middle of a luxuriant vegetation where one finds one of the most beautiful distillery with the residence Fonds-Préville, in Macouba (Martinique). The first distillations took place in 1845 at the initiative of Jean-Marie Martin, who therefore affixed his initials “JM” to his rums, so they are born. In the years 1912, the distillery passes in the hands of Ernest Crassous de Médeuil and his brother Gustave, then in charge of its management and owner of the house Bellevue. After a lot of improvement work, the 2 houses will merge and become Habitation Fonds-Préville. Today, the Bernard Hayot Group is the majority shareholder of SCA Héritiers Crassous de Médeuil.

The sugar canes are grown on the field of Fonds-Préville (225ha) to ensure optimal quality of the raw material on a very special terroir: the flanks of Mount Pelee. The fermented juices are distilled in two columns of traditional Creole brass up to 72 ° (no more) to preserve the aromatic authenticity of their sugar cane in their rums and the distillery is fed by the spring waters of Mount Pelee .

 

Notes:

Nose

This 2007 vintage reveals a great complexity and a beautiful aromatic richness: scents of quince jam, fruit paste, date and fig that complete the scent of sweet spices (nutmeg, ginger, vanilla). After agitation, this complexity is reinforced by the presence of notes of blond tobacco, in perfect balance to the delicacy of fruity. The glass bottom displays sweet fragrances of Martinican cocoa beans.

Mouth

On the palate, its power is matched only by its greed. The fruity notes perceived on the nose exalt and wrap the heat of blond tobacco. In the heart of a delicious bouquet of spices, nutmeg reigns supreme and seduces fully.

Final

It is the smoky and toasty notes of the cocoa beans that accompany the gluttony of the fruit, prolonging, for our greatest pleasure, this moment of happiness.
