Neisson Le rhum vieux par Neisson
Most people land in the same place: a well-balanced, easy-drinking agricole that plays it safe. You get sugarcane, vanilla, wood and gentle spice, with yellow fruit and honey rounding it out. Lots of tasters call it a great way to introduce someone to agricole. The recurring gripe is a short finish and a wish for more power — nobody's blown away, but plenty keep the bottle.

- Fresh sugarcane

How does Neisson Le rhum vieux par Neisson taste?
Aggregated from 156 community reviews.
Balanced, easy agricole with a short finish Loved as a rounded, well-balanced entry Neisson. Most agree the finish runs short and it lacks punch — enjoyable and clean rather than exciting.

A rum of a certain quality which is a little expensive for what it is... Very woody and a slightly light finish. Not my kind of rum!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Personally, it has a little too little fruit notes for me, but is otherwise a very nice and balanced Vieux rhum Agricole! In the finish, wood, tobacco, herbs and some banana peel shake hands... Makes for a gigantic French Rhum Manhattan!
Review by Stefan Persson
Has my recommendation, it’s really great, but I have choose the XO for my rumbar from Neisson. Tasted this one out at the Baltic Sea at an Masterclass during a rum cruise with Birka Cruises. Lots of wood, vanilla and fruitiness in it.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Neisson classic. The nose opens with woody, spicy and earthy notes, accompanied by sugar cane, lemon and honey. The mouth continues on this nice roundness with a vegetal touch. The finish on the other hand is rather short. In spite of a pronounced sweetness and a rather high price positioning for a VO, this rum is still appreciable.
Review by Joachim Guger
Typical Neisson with macaroons and tart freshness. A hint of animal notes on the nose. The best part is the finish with citrus and dried fruit, really great. Sure, it's not a 12 or 15 ans, but it has everything that makes a Neisson, just less complex, not very strong, but drinkable. PLV is awesome.🤩
Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get is an authentic Martinique rum.A sugarcane is juicy, very vegetal, with honey, peppery, fresh and sweet, fruity with citrus, tropical fruits like passion fruit and some yellow like peaches, earthy.It is mineral, also very floral. On aeration, dryness comes out, dried fruits, woody notes.The nose is in balance between dry and mellow, peppery and suave, a very beautiful scene. 8:On the palate, the attack is silky and warm, cane is velvety and floral, slightly herbaceous, juicy, fermented, then becomes increasingly spicy/peppery, then rather sharp, a coppery sensation is wiping the tasting buds and a hint of a licorice.The fruits are tropical with passion fruit, yellow with peaches and still dried, the wood brings resin, nuts. 7,7:The finish is vegetal, the cane is still flowery, juicy, dry, some wood notes are present, pepper, with a bitterness of lime peel a hint of mint....
Review by mto75
An der Nase merkt man das noch recht junge Alter, er kommt eher über die fruchtig-pflanzliche, leicht säuerliche Schiene (im Vergleich zu den 12-15jährigen), es gibt aber auch nussige Noten, Karamell, Vanille. Am Gaumen sehr rund und weich. Gefällt mir gut! Vielen Dank nach Wien für das Sample!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was a huge surprise. The price tag on this bottle is very good considering what you get. Super high quality at a very good price. The nose is very well balanced between wood and fruit which is trailed by vanilla, nuts and a hint of honey. The palate is complex and balanced with wood, wood tannins and fruit trailed by vanilla and sugarcane. The finish is medium long with wood, fruits and vanilla with a hint of nuts. A very good buy indeed!
Review by Galli33
Looks like a solid/typical from Neisson. Very enjoyable from start to the finish. I like that! The alcohol and barrel is integrated very well. The finish is awesome! Some typical agricole notes paired with almonds, licorice and ginger 🤤
Review by Jean Louisss
Lacks a little power but remains a neisson with a really interesting cane taste.
Review by Timo Groeger
Schöner Rum von Neisson. In der Nase hat man überwiegend Holz, etwas Vanille ist auch erkennbar. Am Gazmen ist das Holz-/Vanilleverhältnis dann etwas ausgeglichener. Außerdem ist er am Gaumen noch recht würzig.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
This was my first old Neisson and I understand the reputation and the craze for this product. The 45% is so well blended! What balance 😍
Review by Renato
A harmonious and rather light profile, fat on the nose, then heather honey on the palate, a little bit of vegetable bitterness on the finish.
Review by Tim
Neisson dances out of line as far as Martinique rums are concerned. Clearly more herbal and more sugar cane on the nose. In addition, a very special milk note like yogurt, fruit and spices. A younger, but still complex Agricole.
Review by Morgan Garet
Very elegant and clean, as always with Neisson. Fine oak wraps the fruit and spices from nose to finish.
Review by Eric Frechin
Très agréable à boire, le nez est gourmand abricot et poire au sirop vanillé rehaussée d un petit côté floral et boisé. En bouche on débute par une légère vivacité , puis du gourmand et boisé. Final reste dans un boisé / sucré vanillé.
Review by MJ97
Très très sympa mais manque de finale, seul point négatif…
