J.M Épices Créoles Rhum Agricole Vieux (70cl)

This is a Rhum Agricole Vieux from J.M, part of the L'Atelier des Rhums range developed with Joseph Akhavan, a Paris bartender. It is sold in a 70cl bottle. It is distilled in a still from pure sugar cane juice and aged for 3 years in French and American oak casks of different toasting. It was created for mixing, and suits a Creole-style Daiquiri. The colour is a deep, bright amber. The nose is concentrated and spiced, with black pepper, cinnamon, caramel, honey and nutmeg over a toasted background. The palate enters warm and soft, with long, lingering spicy returns.
