Rhum Agricole, 'Atelier - Jardin Fruite'

• Aged rhum agricole produced by Rhum J.M in Macouba, Martinique
• Distilled from sugarcane juice; sugarcane is grown on the J.M estate and surrounding farms located near the distillery
• Sugarcane is crushed within one hour of harvest and open fermented with French baker’s yeast for 24 hours
• Distilled on a Creole copper column still
• Aged 24 months on-site at the Fonds-Préville distillery in a combination of French and American oak barrels of varying char levels
• Proofed with spring water sourced from Mt. Pelée
• A luscious nose of tapioca, Bananas Foster, clover honey, Nilla Wafers, hibiscus, and lemon zest lead to a bright palate of new oak complemented by cinnamon powder and lemon oil, finishing with almonds and macadamia nuts
• 42% ABV

Inspired by the verdant flora surrounding the Rhum J.M estate, Jardin Fruité, or “Fruit Garden”, displays cellar master Karine Lasalle’s delicate manipulation of distillate and cask type to create a cocktailing rhum with a lively balance of elegant confection and fruit. Shake this rhum up in a classic daiquiri while you contemplate the next application.
