J.M. Gold displays a rich sugarcane flavor that has beautiful viscosity on the palate. The rich golden color is a simple result from the time it has been naturally aged in re-charred Bourbon barrels for a period of 12 months. Raw sugarcane and warm gingerbread flavors are softened by hints of vanilla and hazelnuts from this short time in oak. J.M Gold is a rum that demonstrates a brilliant balance of reservation of terroir with introduction of wood alchemy that works exceptionally well in cocktails.

The island of Martinique carries an AOC Rhum classification, the only such classification of its kind, and Rhum J.M produces among its finest rhums. The Rhum J.M estates and distillery, founded over 160 years ago by the de Mdeuil family, are on the islands northernmost tip at the base of an active volcano. The islands intense tropical heat and humidity combined with the nutrient-rich, volcanic soil creates a microclimate yielding sugarcane of exceptional quality.

Over 36-48 hours, the sugarcane juice is allowed to ferment naturally into a sugarcane wine. This vin de canne is distilled into Rhum Agricole in a Crole copper column. The fresh Rhum Agricole is allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for at least three months. The rhum is then reduced to bottling strength with water from an estate spring or reduced to 60% abv. in preparation for additional years of aging in oak casks in the Rhum J.M cellars.

J.M 80 Proof is perfectly balanced to bring a true and freshness to the cocktail experience. The palate entry is preceded with a bouquet of white pepper and lilies, giving way to grilled pineapples, green banana, raspberry, and warm biscuits. While floral and fruity, the finish is dry.

Martinique has long had the reputation of having the best terroir for sugarcane cultivation, long before Homre Clment had the imaginative idea to press sugarcane to produce Rhum Agricole. Domaine de lAcajou was purchased in 1887 at the peak of the sugar crisis. The introduction of sugar beets and the increasing availability of cheap South American sugar lead to the collapse of the Martiniquean sugar commerce.

As a result, the local economy, which was driven by the principle cash crop of sugar, was in shambles. Many planters were out of work and took to the streets rioting against the bankrupt plantation owners. What once was a rich and lively island was quickly mired in economic despair. At this time, Homre Clment was a very popular member of the Martiniquean community and the mayor of Le Francois. He purchased the prestigious sugar plantation known as Domaine de lAcajou just 3 kilometers from the center of Le Francois. This 43 acre estate was considered one of the best sug…

As a result, the local economy, which was driven by the principle cash crop of sugar, was in shambles. Many planters were out of work and took to the streets rioting against the bankrupt plantation owners. What once was a rich and lively island was quickly mired in economic despair. At this time, Homre Clment was a very popular member of the Martiniquean community and the mayor of Le Francois. He purchased the prestigious sugar plantation known as Domaine de lAcajou just 3 kilometers from the center of Le Francois. This 43 acre estate was considered one of the best sugar plantations on the island of Martinique. But as it was stuck in a poor and stagnate sugar economy, it was unfortunately forced into bankruptcy.

Homre Clment made the necessary investments and transformed one of the island’s most prestigious sugar plantations into a producer of world-class Rhum Agricole. He had the planters return to the fields to harvest sugarcane once again, but not to refine sugar. His idea was to press his quality estate grown sugarcane to extract first-pressed aromatic and flavorful sugarcane juice to distill pure rhum. Inspired by the enjoyment of great brandies while studying in his early years in Paris, Homre mimicked the distillers of the great Armagnacs of southwestern France to perfect his method of rhum production known today as Rhum Agricole.
