Neisson 15 ans 2005
Don't be put off by the nose: it opens almost like glue and polish before settling into vanilla, macaroons, tobacco and sugarcane. Let it breathe. The palate turns darker and woodier — dark chocolate, nutmeg, coffee — and a few tasters feel the wood pushes a little too far for 15 years. Still a finely balanced agricole, soft and nuanced under the cask strength.
- Gorgeous complex nose
- Well balanced
- Chocolate and spice

How does Neisson 15 ans 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Woody, chocolatey cask-strength agricole Most find a gorgeous, complex nose and a darker, chocolate-and-spice palate. The catch a couple raise: lots of wood and a finish that could run longer, with stiff competition among 2005 Neissons.

Review by mto75
on the nose at first almost something unpleasant towards superglue, then slightly acidic root vegetables, nutty notes, caraway, nutmeg, tobacco, caramel and papaya. On the palate, wood barrel, nutmeg, chocolate. Finishes toasty and dark chocolate/cocoa. Again a good Neisson, however, in the 2005 vintage the competition of good Neissons is great, and eg the Velier 70th still clearly better.
Review by Joachim Guger
First glue and polish, let it breathe a little. Then spice, moderate wood maturity for 15 years and the macaroons and almonds typical of Neisson. Slightly animal, some mango. Very complex, well balanced. Wood dominates in the mouth, far too much of it. This is followed by some mango and macaroons, it doesn't really excite. The finish could be longer. The nose meets the high expectations, but then there is too much wood. Of course a very good rum, but there are clearly better Neissons.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Though overpriced, like always with the older bottling, this is a nicely balanced rum Agricole. The Agricole notes are there from nose to finish with some added fruits, spices and roasted wood.
Review by Johannes
Sehr rund, ausgewogen, trotz der wenigen Prozente ein schön intensiver Geschmack.
Review by Righrum
Simply amazing. Neisson is always a hit, and these releases are wonderful. Wood and spices, especially cumin, in the nose, the palate adds a lot of chocolate to the palette. Perfect alcool integration, and a really long finish.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso nocciole tostate, agrumi, tabacco, zucchero bruciato, ciccolato, pelle. Al palato nocciole tostate, caramello leggero, cacao, prugne, qualche spezia, semi di zucca, lievemente salato e con una nota lontana finale di radice/terra e legno. Nel complesso resta comunque morbido, dolce e delicato come gli altri Neisson.
Review by BottleShrimp
Line up Neisson. Un peu + de corps et d'équilibre que le 12 ans. Le tabac s'exprime apres une bonne aeration. Un excellent agricole, tout en finesse et en nuances.
Review by Léo Delek
Bel équilibre. Il y a de tout
Review by Vidian
Arômes de vanille, attaque d’alcool assez présente mais pas désagréable. Belle longueur, légère aigreur, un peu vegetal
