Neisson Straight from the barrel No 249 2018
Best sipped neat, with a few drops of water to settle the 58.1% punch. It smells grassy and surprisingly mild — fresh-cut cane, grape, a little vanilla — then turns spicier on the palate with coffee, burnt sugar and young, toasty oak. A few tasters find it still a touch young and floral; most call it a creamy, well-balanced young Martinique agricole.
- Grassy cane character
- Creamy mouthfeel
- ABV well integrated

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Grassy, spicy young Martinique cask-strength agricole Well-liked young Neisson agricole: grassy, grape-and-vanilla nose, then coffee, spice and burnt sugar. Some wanted more nutty cask depth; most found the high ABV nicely tucked in.

Very nice Neisson with a good balance between fruit/fruit notes and barrel influence.
Review by Alex Kunath
Deliciously sweet and fruity.
Review by Jarek
For a given occasion 😉habe I have undertaken a few tastings with Agricole from Martinique, Guadeloupe and Marie Galante.Today is Neisson dran.Schwer a dieger of Neisson comparison to make out (RX 7592, 8402, 14424, 89). The 249 is more on the grassy and spicy side. Alcohol very well integrated.
Review by mto75
the Neisson with the highest ABV, which I had so far in the glass, and I must say that he comes for it on the nose surprisingly mild and balanced. The typical herbal-grassy notes of young Agricoles are present, but also something fruity (towards grape) and vanilla. On the palate, the ABV is then more noticeable, but not disturbing. In addition, coffee, burnt sugar and toasted barrel. No mega-part like the Velier 70th, but very solid, like the Vieux Bio LMDW.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose it is quite restrained... I perceive a wine-like aroma.On the palate it spreads nicely creamy. A pleasant spiciness , sweetness and woodiness shows! Light fresh grass is also perceptible!The finish is almost on the Agricole side!A pretty good bottling!
