Review by Julien Ries
Le Straight from the Barrel 88 nous a laissé une belle impression avec un nez très riche en fruit exotique confits, un boisé très délicat. En bouche, on ressentait bien les watts mais l'ensemble était quand même bien intégré. Le palais très bon sur des notes de cacao, de confiture de fruits mûrs avec un côté acidulé pas du tout désagréable, nous a paru très rigide, très conventionnel. On retrouve le terroir martiniquais et la patte très standardisée de Neisson, mais comme souvent chez les vieux de Neisson, on s'est dit que ça manquait d'originalité. Le final sur la vanille et quelques épices s'étalent sur une longueur agréable et langoureuse. D'autres distilleries font mieux dans le côté whaou pour moins cher que cette quille à 190€ environ. Pour autant, c'est un très bon rhum.

Le nez pourrait être mieux mais la bouche est superbe
Review by Jakob
Round Neisson with a fairly typical profile. Beautiful nougat sweetness, some wood, plus some youthful freshness. Pleasant and elegant.
Review by TheJackDrop
Je ne note ici que le jus, et sans regarder le prix. Pour moi c’est un vieux très rond avec quelques fruits et notamment un petit noyau de cerise, mais qu’à l’aveugle je ne donnerai pas à plus de 70€ la bouteille. À 200€ ça n’a aucun sens !

A pretty good juice for 5yrs of age but if you pay 200€ for this you are stupid. Sorry for going full dutch uncle here but it needs to be said.
Review by Rodolphe
Good rum. It stops there. I found it young, lively, vegetal. Basically it's good, there's the potential to become a great rum but today it's just good. At around 200€ a keel, I'd definitely go for an XO, because it's expensive for what it is...
