RHUM JM - VO - 43%
The birth of JM rums takes place in the heart of an exceptional lush vegetation, home to one of the most prestigious distilleries, located at the Fonds-Préville estate in Macouba, Martinique. The first distillations were carried out in 1845 thanks to the visionary initiative of Jean-Marie Martin, who stamped his initials "JM" on his rums, thus giving birth to a legendary brand. In 1912, the distillery was taken over by Ernest Crassous de Médeuil and his brother Gustave, manager of the Bellevue estate at that time. After several improvement and optimization works, these two estates merged to form the current Habitation Fonds-Préville. Today, the Bernard Hayot Group is the majority shareholder of the SCA Héritiers Crassous de Médeuil, guaranteeing the sustainability and exceptional quality of the rums produced.
The sugar canes, carefully cultivated on the Fonds-Préville estate covering 225 hectares, benefit from a unique terroir located on the fertile volcanic slopes of Montagne Pelée. This origin gives JM rums an incomparable aromatic richness. The fermented juices are then distilled in two traditional Creole copper columns, carefully designed not to exceed 72°, thus preserving all the authenticity and aromatic complexity characteristic of the estate's sugar canes. Moreover, this distillery benefits from a precious natural resource with its supply of pure spring water directly from Montagne Pelée, enhancing the finesse of its elixirs.
The JM VO rum is truly a gem among agricultural rums. Internationally recognized for its organoleptic qualities and excellent value for money, it is undoubtedly among the best rums in the world in its category. The finesse and distinctive character of JM's terroir are reflected in this exceptional cuvée, carefully aged for three years in the climate-controlled cellars of the Macouba distillery, located in northern Martinique. This exceptional rum, crowned with numerous medals and international distinctions, is bottled at 43% alcohol to guarantee a balanced and intense tasting experience.
