Sort by: Popularity | Newest | Oldest | Rating
The Neisson distillery was founded by two brothers in 1931 and are still family owned, just one out of two independent family owned distilleries in Martinique.
In 1952 they installed a copper Savalle still in production.
Today they have 49 hectares to grow their cane of which 4 is organic which make them self-sufficient with raw material.
Neisson produces just Agricole and presses its juice in an old mill from 1937. Fermentation with own yeast strains takes place in stainless steel vats up to 5 days, which is very long and the maximum time allowed by AOC.
The rum taken out from distillation on the old Savalle column has a strength of 73% whereafter it’s placed in stainless steel tanks where it’s blended and diluted before bottled respectively put in barrels for aging.
This XO rum is a blend of rums aged 9, 11 and 12 years old, aged in French oak barrels and ex-American Bourbon barrels.
The aromas is woody, fruity and spicy with notes of vanilla and chocolate.
At the palate It’s very smooth and elegant with notes of citrus, exotic fruits and a hint of spices.
The final is long and delicate tasting the same.
Overall a very smooth, elegant and delicate Agricole as all rum I’ve tasted from Neisson.
Picture: My opened bottle with a poured glass out in the Stockholm archipelago.
Au nez c’est d’abord du boisé, très agréable et pas étouffant puisqu’il laisse ensuite la place aux fruits confis et noix de coco.
La bouche est poivrée, boisée avec des notes d’agrumes et de tabac.
La finale est moyennement longue, toujours boisée mais avec un retour vanillé.
Le mot qui me vient pour décrire ce rhum est délicatesse. Toutes les saveurs et sensations se mélangent à la perfection sans qu’aucune ne prenne le dessus sur les autres, c’est ni trop sec, ni trop rond. Ni trop boisé, ni pas assez et ainsi de suite. Un petit peu plus de puissance aurait sans doute fait un chef d’œuvre, mais pour ça il y a le XO full proof….
Attaque trop forte, notes de caramel tellement puissants qu'elles cachent tout le reste.
Un goût unique, vraiment délicieux, complexe, équilibré. Après l'avoir regoûté, il me plait encore plus qu'avant.
Neisson du trés bon rhum mais un peu chère.
Ce rhum beaucoup de gout et une longueur immense.
Avec un prix un peu moins chère ce rhum serait dans le top des classements de bcp de gens.
This rum is powerful and burns from the first sensations. I would say that it is dry, it reminds me of a whisky. I feel a lot the taste of oak, with a very weak fruity flavor.
However, it is not to my personal taste.
Magnifique travail de cette grand maison qu'est Neisson ! excellent !
Un nez sur le boisé et les épices.
En bouche, on retrouve ce côté boisé et poivré, avant qu'une certaine amertume (un peu trop présente peut-être) ne vienne envelopper le tout sous forme de notes d'agrumes...
Un très bon rhum agricole, mais qui manque un peu de rondeur et dont l'amertume est un peu trop présente à mon goût...

Beautiful mahogany colour. The nose gives hints of nuts, such as almond and hazelnut. It is very pastry and greedy. On the palate, it is very round, sweet with the spices like pepper that arrive and the woody. The finish of the mouth is citrus and woody which is always present. It is very long in the mouth, superb final. A superb product to discover. Real rate : 8,5
