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!!!
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting-Abend bei Dr. Django: Der letzte Agricole für heute. Und einer der dunklen schweren und intensiven Art. Holz, Leder, Würze und pflanzliche Aromen begleiten einen von der Nase bis zum Abgang. Dieses ist ein Rum, der an winterlichen Abenden herrlich zum Genießen einlädt
Review by Rodolphe
Dégustation à l'aveugle. Super nez, wahou. Chocolat, noisette, vanille, que c'est agréable. Je devine un très bon martiniquais mais je ne sais pas de quelle distillerie. L'alcool est très bien intégré. C'est 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 Benoit Mahe
Un superbe rhum très fruité et épicé. L'équilibre est parfait. J'ai tendance à préfèrer les profils plus gourmands mais c'est un blend très réussi.

Review by Leo Krüper
Great neisson. Very shallow and complex. Beautiful toasty aromas on the finish.
Review by N’ours
Rhum extra. Équilibré parfait, alcool très bien intégré. Balance entre le fruit et les épices incroyable avec une belle note florale au nez. Wahoo !!!
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 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
Eine tolle Abfüllung. Alkohol perfekt integriert und einfach eine sehr schöne Balance aus Frucht, Süße, Holz und Gewürzen.
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 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
