Neisson Rhum Élévé Sous Bois

Just one year in wood and it lands in an odd middle ground — the fresh grassy cane of an unaged agricole, but with a light oak, vanilla and pepper edge on top. Tasters find baked-apple and citrus notes, a woody, earthy palate, and 50% that shows as a spicy heat up front. Pleasant enough, not very complex, and a touch young.

Unfortunately, this Neisson is not enough for an easy sipper. It tastes quite sharp-edged with dominant sweet sugar cane notes and grass, young wood,... Rather unsuitable neat, maybe something for cocktails.

I can’t get apple pie out of my mind with this one. Something, mostly from the aroma, strongly reminds me baked apples and spice but the palette is woodier, earthier, and has some nice spicy notes.

Very sweet yet has a bright grassiness that still falls squarely in the unaged agricole. Lots of delicate notes and undertones. Excellent in tiki drinks, it doesn't get lost against fresh citrus juice

Pleasant sipper, creamy with well-integrated alcohol. The very short maturation, however, creates a profile that is neither fish nor meat, I like the unripened Neisson better.

For me personally still a little too young and immature. For good drinks but certainly top!

Avg Rating 8.4/10 240 Rums

Neisson is the smallest distillery on Martinique, making under 2 percent of the island's rum, and one of only two still in family hands. Run today by Claudine Vernant Neisson and her son Gregory, it distils on a 1952 all-copper Savalle still, ferments with its own native yeast, and makes what many call the island's finest white rhum. The community rates its aged bottlings among the very best agricole there is.
