Description
Rhum J.M Terroir Volcanique Rhum Agricole 700ml
Smoky. Earth-driven. A volcanic expression of Martinique rhum agricole.
The Rhum J.M Terroir Volcanique is a terroir-led aged rhum agricole that channels the volcanic soils and mountain spring water of Martinique's Montagne Pelee. Crafted from estate and nearby cane, double-char cooperage and selective barrel toasting create a layered spirit where smoke, brûleed tropical fruit, and mineral earth meet bright grassy freshness.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
