A Look at Rhum J.M. Gold
Posted in Recipes, Rums, Spirits on October 27th, 2009 by halw – Be the first to commentFollowing up our previous look at Rhum J.M.’s Blanc offering is a look at their Gold offering. What if you took Rhum J.M.’s blanc offering and aged it up to five years. You’d yield an elegant example of a gold Rhum.
Rhum J.M. Gold teases you with a nose of caramel, and sugar cane that’s reminiscent of a sweet bourbon. This is no doubt due to the use of American oak barrels to age Rhum J.M. Gold. This magnificent nose is followed up notes of caramel, sweet vanilla, and the occasional hint of cocoa. These flavors of black and white are joined by notes of soft fruit and floral tones that end in a smooth and sweet finish.
