Rhum Vieux JM 1998 Hors d’Âge – Brut de Fût 43.7% – Macouba Martinique – 70cl

Born in the volcanic heights of Macouba, JM 1998 Hors d’Âge is a rare expression of Martinique’s most historic terroir. Crafted by the legendary Crassous de Médeuil estate, this rum carries the soul of a distillery that has shaped the identity of agricole rum for more than two centuries.

Distilled in 1998 from fresh sugarcane grown on the steep northern slopes of the island, this spirit entered its oak casks at a time when JM was redefining the standards of long‑aged agricole. Over 15 years of maturation, the rum slowly absorbed the character of the tropical climate heat, humidity, and the constant breath of the rainforest creating a profile that only time and patience can reveal.

The green wax seal, the hallmark of Crassous de Médeuil, protects a rum bottled at 43.7% brut de fût, preserving the natural strength and purity of the cask. No dilution. No compromise. Just the authentic signature of JM’s ancestral craftsmanship.

This 1998 vintage stands as a tribute to an era when agricole rum was still produced in small volumes, guided by intuition, tradition, and the mastery of aging. It is a collector’s piece an echo of Macouba’s volcanic soil, the old Creole columns, and the heritage of one of Martinique’s most respected families.

A rum for connoisseurs who seek not only a spirit, but a story.
