JM Angels Rum - Calvados Pays d'Auge

France has a long tradition of rum production. French agricultural rums are unique in that they are made directly from the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice. These are powerful rums with a particularly complex aromatic palette.

To develop this 7th edition of Christian Drouin's Experimental range, we turned to the French island of Martinique and one of the oldest and most emblematic distilleries on the island. JM Angels is a 10-year-old Pays d'Auge Calvados aged for an additional 8 months in 6 former French rum casks that previously contained VSOPs of the great JM rums .

" It's a rather tender and indulgent Calvados that we chose for this association with the world of agricultural rum. The rum barrel gives the Calvados a vanilla caress and an extra roundness. JM Angels is undoubtedly the most delicate finishing that we have achieved in this range with old rum barrels ."
Guillaume DROUIN

Tasting note:

The nose opens with notes of vanilla, brown sugar and toast before releasing aromas of roasted apple and apricot.
The palate is frank, with a beautiful balance between power and roundness, with skin and apple seeds on the finish.
