8.5/10

Extremely impressive complexity for 5 years. Really great aromas of ginger, cocoa, yellow stone fruit such as peach and a little nutmeg. Alcohol perfectly integrated with a lovely long finish. Great bottling!

8.7/10

Color: Rust brown Aroma: Extremely tasty, delicately aromatic and fruity. Sweet, banana at the beginning, then passion fruit. Slightly smoky in the background. Smells of exotic spices such as cardamom and star anise. Also some herbs. Taste: Sweet on the tongue, spicy when swallowed. Full-bodied with ginger, nutmeg, toffee and fruit cream in the background. Finish: Long and warming. Hot and spicy with toffee. Aftertaste of bitter tea without sugar. Conclusion: Very tasty - just Neisson. 87 points

Neisson 

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.
