Rhum Agricole Gold (Amber)

• Aged rhum agricole produced by Rhum J.M in Macouba, Martinique
• AOC Martinique Rhum élevé sous bois (aged in oak for a minimum of 12 months)
• 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 on-site at the Fonds-Préville distillery for 1 year in new toasted American oak and re-charred ex-bourbon barrels
• Proofed with spring water sourced from Mt. Pelée
• Aromas of raw sugarcane are softened by warm gingerbread and anise; fresh plantain and maduros oscillate on the palate with a spike of oak leading to hazelnuts and citrus oil on the finish
• No added sugar or coloring
• 50% ABV

Often described as the reposado of the rhum world, this flaxen spirit demonstrates a brilliant preservation of terroir while incorporating a kiss of barrel dimension for further sipping and mixing complexity.
