The deep alligator char is designed to ship wealthy flavors and a smoky, peat-like aroma, that completely captures the terroir of the volcano.
“At Rhum J.M. we prefer to play with the char ranges of barrels, which permits us to develop particular aromas,” says Karine Lassalle, the distillery’s knowledgeable blender. “We’re lucky to have our personal cooperage inside the distillery, which permits us to experiment each day with time beneath toast.”
Whereas Terroir Volcanique celebrates the land that it got here from, final yr on Earth Day 2022, Rhum J.M. introduced their life-long dedication to sustainable manufacturing beneath the mission’s title, EDDEN Undertaking (Engagés pour le Développement Sturdy de nos Écosystèmes et de notre Nature), marking the rum distillery’s progress as a world spirits producer and chief within the sustainability motion.

GSN’s Remarks: Heady char on the nostril with a burnt vanilla undertone. On the palate, there’s a slight creosote character giving it the character of a campfire. The rum itself balances out the deep woodiness and ethereal smokiness, making this a nicely balanced and glorious spirit to be used in tropical cocktails. There may be plenty of physique right here, and the end goes on for miles. We additionally like this one over a single rock as a contemplative post-dinner drink rather than a Scotch whisky. A welcome addition to the Rhum J.M. portfolio and one which you’ll want to add to your backbar aresenal. GSN Score: A
