Franconian Rum Tasting Gang / 2024-04-19: Neisson Straight from the Barrel No. 26 vs. No. 252 vs. Depaz 2002 Barrel 706 Die beiden Neisson-Abfüllungen sind lecker, aber nicht wirklich komplex. Man merkt ihnen die recht kurze Lagerzeit an. Etwas floral, etwas Zitrusfrüchte, butterweich. No. 252 etwas besser als No. 26. Beide kommen aber nicht an den Dapaz heran, der wunderbar komplex daherkuund dem man seine Reife anmerkt.

Very sweet honey vanilla no length too bad
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un jeune Neisson à la croisée des chemins. Le profil a pris des influences du fût en vieillissement, mais conserve la toucheur du profil non vieilli. Canne à sucre, agrumes et notes de fraîcheur bordent le nez avec des notes plus toastées, sur un boisé légèrement marqué, des noisettes mais aussi des notes plus pâtissières sur le biscuit et le miel. On retrouve aussi du tabac, des épices (vanille, poivre, muscade)et des fruits secs (dattes). Un profil enthousiasmant et équilibré. En bouche, c’est un rhum agricole complet et vif qui fait son entrée. Le boisé jeune, les notes herbacées (sur la canne) et les épices donnent le ton, suivent après les fruits secs, les agrumes et les notes plus rondes de caramel, de biscuit et de miel. Le jus gagne en amplitude avec le temps. L’alcool est bien intégré dans ce profil sec mais varié. La finale est de bonne longueur, avec de belles notes de canne à sucre, de tabac, de notes végétales, de bois et d’épices. Les fruits secs et les agrumes viennent en fin de bouche avec un peu de miel, présent tout au long de la dégustation. C’est un profil intermédiaire qui a les attributs du distillat tout en bénéficiant des avantages du vieillissement. Une expérience intéressante pour Neisson, qui est en train d’instaurer une gamme de rhums jeunes premium sur le marché.

Unser Agricole Flight heute abend: Neisson straight from the barrel no26 vs. No252 vs. (Etwas unfair) den Depaz cask strength 2002 barrel 706 26 ist ganz nett, 252 gefällt mir etwas besser aber der Depaz der klare, deutlich reifere und interessantere Sieger mit super Nase (mit ganz leicht Jackfruit/überreifer Mango) und Gaumen.

Franconian Tasting Gang am 19.04.2024 Im Agricole Battle messen sich Neisson Straight from the Barrel No.26, No.252 und der Depaz CS 2002 Barrel 706 (der hier der unfaire Gegener ist) No.26 kann man mal trinken, ist schon gut , No.252 ist schon etwas besser aber der Depaz macht hier klar das Rennen gegen die beiden anderen. Er ist einfach eine andere Liga.
Review by El Peludo
A nose between the Neisson 105 and the 107. The muddiness of the 105, and the butteriness of the 107. Then the same herbaceous, fresh, sugar-cane framework. On the palate, it's the same, but less woody than the 105, and less toasty. The woodiness is rather damp, fresh, vegetal, pastry-like, buttery and slightly spicy. It has the same structure as the other 2 profiles, with a lively mouthfeel at first. But I prefer the 105, which is younger and less expensive.
