This agricultural rum, noted for being distilled directly from the juice of fresh sugarcane rather than molasses, offers a unique sensory experience.
Visually, it presents a rich golden color, with hues ranging from amber to copper.

On the palate, the rum has a full and rounded body. The flavors are consistent with the aromas sensed, enriched by a balanced sweetness and a long, persistent finish, leaving spicy and lightly toasted notes on the palate. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, resulting in a smooth sip but characterized by an extraordinary intensity of flavors.
This 2012 vintage is ideal to be enjoyed neat, at room temperature, to fully appreciate its richness and complexity. It is perfect for accompanying special moments or to conclude a significant dinner with a touch of elegance and sophistication. The JM Vieux Millesime 2012 Rhum is an excellent choice for those seeking a rum with a rich profile and a heritage deeply rooted in the agricultural distillation tradition of the island of Martinique.

The story
The origins lie at the site of Habitation Fonds‑Préville; in 1845 Jean‑Marie Martin purchased the property and converted the sucrerie into a distillery, marking barrels with his initials (J.M). During the 20th century the estate passed to the Crassous de Médeuil family; in 2002 the local Groupe Bernard Hayot (GBH) acquired the distillery and subsequently invested in modernization while preserving production traditions.
Distillation
Copper creole column stills (two plate columns), typical rhum agricole distillation; distilled with head/final cuts around 70–73% ABV before maturation.
Ageing
Maturation in oak barrels (new or used) with in‑house management of toasting/charring; barrels vary in capacity and origin and part of the aging is managed to develop vanilla, caramel and spicy profiles.
Raw materials
- sugarcane juice (vesou)
