	Who Rhum J.M Blanc (50% ABV / 100 Proof) is produced by the historic Fonds-Préville Distillery (Distillerie J.M). Originally converted into a rum distillery in 1845 by Jean-Marie Martin (hence the initials "J.M"), the facility sits directly at the base of the active volcano Mount Pelée. It is highly regarded as one of the oldest single-estate Rhum Agricole producers in the world.

	What Rhum J.M Blanc (50% ABV) is the anti-rum rum—a wild rebel made from 100% fresh sugarcane juice instead of molasses. Expect raw, vegetal crunch that'll make traditional sweet rums seem tame by comparison. The nose hits you with fresh-cut grass, wet earth, lime zest, and a briny kiss of sea salt and white pepper. On the palate, it's surprisingly crisp and clean despite the proof. Vibrant layers of green banana, raw sugarcane stalk, anise, and cucumber dance across your tongue, grounded by a striking stony mineral quality from volcanic soil. The finish? Long, dry, and impossibly clean—white pepper, grapefruit peel, and herbal freshness linger like a whisper. This is rhum agricole at its most authentic and uncompromising.
	Why Here's where Rhum J.M gets obsessive: the moment sugarcane hits the ground, the clock starts ticking. While international rules allow up to three days before pressing, J.M operates on a different timeline—field to mill in under 60 minutes, no exceptions. This hyper-speed approach isn't just showmanship. It's the difference between pristine, unblemished cane juice and oxidized, compromised fruit. That's why every sip tastes so explosively fresh and alive.
