Neisson L'Esprit De Neisson Bio

Sipped neat, this white agricole is a lot gentler than its 66% suggests — several tasters call it the best white rum they've had. Expect fresh sugarcane, lime and citrus, an oily, coats-your-mouth body, and a briny, almost salty edge. The usual grassy agricole bite is dialed back, and the finish runs long and faintly sweet.

So for a 66% white rum, this is incredibly smooth and balanced. Grassy, lime, almost sweet on the finish. I'm impressed.

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 240 Rums

Neisson is the smallest distillery on Martinique, making under 2 percent of the island's rum, and one of only two still in family hands. Run today by Claudine Vernant Neisson and her son Gregory, it distils on a 1952 all-copper Savalle still, ferments with its own native yeast, and makes what many call the island's finest white rhum. The community rates its aged bottlings among the very best agricole there is.
