Pour this one neat and take your time — it's a sipper. Expect wood, vanilla and warm spice up front, then peach and dried fruit, with that fresh cane note tying it together. Several tasters call the 50.8% "perfectly integrated," so it drinks softer than the proof suggests. A couple find the palate a touch bitter and biting, but most think the balance more than makes up for it.

How does Neisson Le Rhum XO Full Proof taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Balanced, woody-spicy agricole for slow sipping Members love this Neisson for its balance — fruit, spice, wood and well-hidden alcohol. A few note a slight bitterness and bite on the palate, but almost everyone rates it highly.

Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful solvent notes, fruit (peach, apricot), dried fruit, little wood, spicy. Fresh and perfectly balanced. Great mouthfeel. Now a little more wood. Crisp, warm. Super finish that really stimulates salivation 😀 Great Neisson, perfectly balanced high-end sipper to my taste. Close to the references from our own house. 😀 Many thanks to Bonn!!!

#5920 04.11.2025 This tasting has partially disappeared, so I will add the notes again. A very nice well balanced rum, as to be expected from Neisson. An incredibly velvety palate with a nice balanced finish.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting evening at Dr. Django: The last Agricole for today. And one of the dark, heavy, and intense kind. Wood, leather, spice, and vegetal aromas accompany you from the nose to the finish. This is a rum that invites you to enjoy wonderfully on winter evenings.
Review by Rodolphe
Blind tasting. Great nose, wow. Chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, how pleasant. I guess a very good Martinican but I don't know which distillery. The alcohol is very well integrated. It's excellent.
Review by Mike H.
When it comes to rum my nemesis is orange flavor. I got a little orange in the nose but it rather worked well because it was nicely integrated with all the others scents. I was a little worried though that the orange would stand out in the mouth though but that wasn’t the case. This was a rather light but very tasty rhum where vanilla, spices and wood stood out with some citrus fruit and a little orange which wasn’t too present. A very nice agricole. Thank you for the sample Michael 🤩

Batch #2 is also a great XO full proof. In addition to the spices, I also perceive a nice fruity note on the nose. Very mild on the palate, the ABV is perfectly integrated. The finish is roasty and tart.
Review by Jakob
Very nice Neisson, which only comes across a little too bitter and slightly too biting on the palate. But criticism on a high level, the rest of the profile makes up for a lot - nice sweetness, wood, subtle fruit. Excellent!
Review by Benoit Mahe
A superb rum, very fruity and spicy. The balance is perfect. I tend to prefer more indulgent profiles but this is a very successful blend.
Review by Vincent D
Another sumptuous rum by Neisson. This one is totally smooth. An ultra-delicate woodiness that serves as a framework for notes of citrus, chocolate, spices. It's so pleasant! A superb complexity and yet easy to drink. Superb length. Excellent
Review by alex
Très bon blend. Alcool très bien intégré. Superbe agricole. Harmonie parfaite 😍
Review by Leo Krüper
Great neisson. Very shallow and complex. Beautiful toasty aromas on the finish.
Review by N’ours
Extra rum. Perfectly balanced, alcohol very well integrated. Incredible balance between fruit and spices with a beautiful floral note on the nose. Wahoo!!!

Fantastic XO Full Proof
Review by Ane Steph
My father had a bottle of this laying around, bought from the factory in Martinique directly. For a beginner nose, it smells like any XO rhum agricole. The difference happens with tasting. The grill and spices roll over your tongue and you then get hit by an aftertaste of agricole. Quite a nice surprise, and the agricole taste stays for some time.
Review by RumRhush
A beautiful emotion on this one, a profile which changes a little of what Neisson accustomed us but always as good as it slaps: coffee of the herbaceous notes and a little citrus fruit it surprised me more than the batch 1 more consensual in the Neisson family. I have fond memories of it
Review by Mentalo
A great bottling. Alcohol perfectly integrated and simply a very nice balance of fruit, sweetness, wood, and spices.

Review by Nicolas Sicilia
C’est très très bon ! Un boisé au nez présent mais très gourmand, vanille et ensuite des fruits ( pêche, fruits exotiques sucrés) c’est très équilibrés et très fin En bouche la gourmandise domine mais une certaine fraîcheur de canne toujours présente ! C’est quand même un top rhum
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
A fantastic rum. A magnificent nose blending spices, wood, and citrus. An even more beautiful palate that adds tropical fruits and just the right amount of pepper. An exceptional bottle.
