Neisson XO Cuvée du 3ème Millénaire

Most tasters land in the same place: a rounded, honeyed aged agricole with hazelnut, licorice, milk chocolate and a soft caramel body. The nose leans woody, spiced and dried-fruit sweet. A couple find it a touch tame and licorice-heavy, and one felt it "drinks strong for the ABV," but the balance wins people over. Silky, gourmand, and clearly a well-aged Martinique cane-juice rum.

The community says
  • Silky balanced body
  • Hazelnut and chocolate
  • But: Slightly hot

How does Neisson XO Cuvée du 3ème Millénaire taste?

Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.

Silky, nutty aged agricole sipper Loved by most for its silky, balanced, nutty character — hazelnut, chocolate and licorice over gentle oak. A few find it too safe and licorice-forward, and it drinks warm.

Perfect for

Fans of rounded, well-aged agricole who like nutty, chocolatey sippers

Less suitable for

Anyone wanting bold fruit or a bright, grassy young agricole

8.8/10

Despite the relative low ABV this is a very nice and well balanced rum with lots of flavour. Fruity with light wood and nuts and some caramel on the palate. The palate is oily and I really like the nutty note. In the empty glass i can pick up light licorice and chocolate.

7.6/10

Dried fruit, wood and spices on the nose. On the palate, hazelnut predominates, with licorice, chocolate and wood... Too sage and licorice-like for my taste. The palate is clearly below the nose. Not really my thing!

9.0/10

Honeyed nose: woody/spicy/vanilla/dried fruit/butterscotch. The nose is well-balanced and fresh. On the palate, the attack is smooth and velvety. Licorice, woody notes, chocolate hazelnut, crème caramel and citrus fruits are on the menu. Long finish: woody-spicy-toasty Conclusions: this is a fine product, clearly in the upper echelons of old agricultural wines. It is a worthy representative of Martinique's terroir, with its masterful balance.

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 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.
