RHUM JM - La Dame Jeanne n°2 - 45.9%
Located in the north of Martinique , on the slopes of Montagne Pelée, Habitation Bellevue benefits from a humid tropical climate and particularly fertile volcanic soils conducive to the cultivation of exceptional sugar cane. In 1914, Gustave Crassous de Médeuil bought Rhumerie JM from the family of Jean-Marie Martin. Since this date, the Crassous heirs of Médeuil have conscientiously ensured the production of Rhum JM
Cultivated and selected with care, the sugar canes are crushed in mills less than an hour after cutting, this specificity guarantees the obtaining of a particularly fresh cane juice rich in aromas. JM is one of the rare distilleries in Martinique to use spring water for the production of its Rums. Coming from Montagne Pelée, this pure water, rich in minerals, contributes to the quality of JM Rums. Historically, the distillation of agricultural Rums has been carried out in two traditional copper columns , of the Creole type. The barrels are carefully selected and previously burned before use. Each year, the cellar master carefully tops up the barrels with rums of the same age in order to preserve the typicity specific to each vintage.
La Dame Jeanne No.2 is a blend of old vintages of very old agricultural rums. This edition consists of the 2000, 2001, 2013 and 2014 vintages having benefited from an aging of 8 to 22 years, and bottled raw from barrel.
