Velier Neisson Cuvée Chai 2 Vevert 2016

Grassy sugarcane, citrus and a lavender-floral lift set the tone here — this is agricole at its most perfumed and elegant, not tropical-sweet. Underneath sit vanilla, roasted almond, tobacco and young oak, with a spicy, lively attack from the 56.8%. The empty glass wins people over: ginger, chocolate, rose water. One of three 2016 single casks, and several tasters rank this the pick of the trio.

Comparison between the three Neisson 2016 Chai 4yr. Cask #5 The lightest color already indicates that this rum has the lightest and most herbal notes. And that's true. Lots of young wood, grass and plants, flowers and polish. 75 points Cask #2 The darkest in color of the three. On the palate clearly warmer, fuller and more astringent than its brothers. Red fruits, tobacco, leather and wood. Wonderfully long warm finish. 85 points Cask #4 The fruitiest of the trio with an interesting grassy caramel-citrus note on the finish. Slightly bitter, lies somewhere in its aroma spectrum between grassy and leathery. 77 points

Perfumed and very elegant. Slight lavender taste. Tastes great but not like tropical rum.

8.7/10

8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is a grassy, herbaceous sugar cane with tea, spicy, slightly roasted wood notes with almonds and dark chocolate, as the fruits are tropical with banana, coconut and juicy peaches. On aeration, it becomes flowery and minty, a bit resinous and roasted with confectionery like biscuits, baked apple with honey. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is delicious, creamy with sugarcane honey, herbaceous, minty, fruits like grapefruit, banana and peaches, vanilla and roasted almonds, hazelnuts. With resting, the cane is flowery, grassy, earthy with some tobacco and black tea, the wood becomes resinous, nutty, some confectionery pops out. 8,6:The finish is long, tannic, the grassy cane, fruits are complemented with spicy, roasted, smoky wood notes and dairy touch... Edit:11.10.25, the best from 3 Cuvees 2016

Neisson 

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 240 Rums

Neisson is one of the smallest distilleries on Martinique, making under 2 percent of the island's rum, and one of the two independent family houses among the island's classic AOC distilleries. 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.
