Fresh sugarcane and toasted oak up front, then black pepper, ripe fruit and a soft vanilla note from the Cognac cask. This is powerful, oily agricole at 58.9% — several tasters found it a touch vif and not fully balanced yet, but the length and the grassy-herbal backbone win people over. A few drops of water and some time in the glass pull the fruit and spice into focus.
The community says- Long oily finish
- Fresh sugarcane
- Keep in mind: Hot at full proof

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Powerful, herbal Neisson agricole with Cognac cask Typical Neisson done well — punchy, herbal and long, with the Cognac cask adding a little fruit. Widely liked, though a few call it hot and still young.

#5734 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. I just love these Straight from the Cask releases. They're usually pretty different. This one is really good and the price tag is kind of OK. Lots of sugarcane and fruity notes with a light tingle to the palate.

Home tasting 2026-03-14 Pleasant rum, still the grassy aftertaste of Agricole is not my cup of tea.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Time to review some rums from Neisson. This one is aged 4 years in Cognac casks. On the nose: At first it was woody, with some fruity notes in the back. After sitting in the glass it has roasted woody note with grassy agricole notes in the background. Somewhere in between it had nice fruity and vanilla notes. Taste: Oily, sugarcane notes and toasted woody notes. Then you get of spices like black pepper in there. The abv is integrated very nicely. It had some fruity notes at first but once opened up the agricole notes took over the palate. Finish: Warm,oily, slightly herbal and grassy first and then you get charred woody notes and spices. Its a another great rum from Neisson. Just the cognac cask influence was quite weak on the palate in general, especially as the rum opened.
Review by alex
Joli profil de chez Neisson encore une fois. Un nez plutôt gourmand, avec une belle note de vanille, des fruits secs, du boisé, et une touche pimentée. En bouche on retrouve ces arômes accompagnés d’une belle longueur. Très appréciable 🤩
Review by TheJackDrop
Whisky Live Paris tasting: Typical Neisson cane, but rounded out with vanilla, ripe fruit and a tangy, fruity sweetness that counterbalances a good dose of spice and tannin.
Review by Johannes
Not quite round, grassy, spicy, vanilla notes.
Review by Emilien
Description Nose: Palate: peppery in the mouth as soon as you let it develop in the mouth, intense, woody, slightly chocolatey, fruity, spicy and balanced... a pleasure. Touch of cognac after the pepper. A pleasure. Finish: peppery, cognac and slightly woody. Conclusion: recommended. I like it 8+
Review by Righrum
Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm score and notes This was a surprise to me..the cognac cask added a good layer of complexity with dark berries that pairs well with Neisson nuttyness.
Review by Thefrenchagave
Belle découverte au whisky live ! Nez : vanille douce, épices, une touche florale, des notes herbacées et un bois toasté qui apporte de la profondeur ! Une bouche Ronde et puissante, avec de la canne fraîche, des fruits mûrs, du sucre brun, des épices douces (cannelle) et toujours cette belle empreinte toastée qui accompagne la dégustation Finale : longue et chaleureuse, boisée et vanillée, légèrement sèche, avec un retour herbacé
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Finally, two Single Casks Straight from the Barrel, released especially for Whisky Live: 2021 Cask 278 – 58.9%: 4 years in 600 L cognac cask, Vevert warehouse. Powerful profile, very marked cognac. Too sharp for me. 2021 Organic Cask 698 – 56.9%: 4 years in 225 L cask that contained Profile 105 Organic. More on spices and cane, and clearly my favorite of the two.
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: herbals, thyme, fennel, dry chamomile tea, flowers & mint ! Hint of barrel, black pepper, vanilla, shugarcane. Also dry apricots & raisins. Palate: powerful ! Oily, dominate of the herbals, grass, flowers, some olive, ginger. Very interesting note of chestnut & fennel. Very spicy, need time & water. Aftertaste: long, fresh, oily. Some mint, fennel, herbals, chamomile. Really interesting. Conclusion: so, it's still young, but tasty rum. Not best ballance, but great aroma & taste. Try it, about few weeks.
