Balanced, easy Neisson agricole A for-curious-explorers agricole that keeps things gentle at 42%. RumX members describe a balanced mix of grassy cane, oak and light bitterness, without huge character but a nice Neisson-style entry sipper or digestif.
Curious explorers who want an unsweetened, oak-led introduction to aged Martinique agricole without high ABV or heavy funk.
Those seeking big intensity, lots of fruit, or very complex, high-ester agricoles; also not ideal for fans of sweeter, dosed rums.

Simple and efficient
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
A pleasant old Neisson, but bitter on the finish. The woody agricultural notes are well present, but it lacks a little complexity to reach the 8/10 mark.a good digestive for lovers of Martinique woodiness.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
A small neisson without much character but the whole remains well balanced. One finds there the standards of neisson nevertheless.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very tasty neisson, very harmonious, could only tolerate a little more %.
Review by Aaron Adams
My first aged Rhum agricole and I'll definitely need to spend a bit more time with this one. Got way more barrel influence than I was expecting which came across as oak and cigar notes. There is definitely the grassy vegetal notes I associate with cane juice but it's more buried than I expected. Not finding as much fruit as some other have reported. Finishes a little bitter but in a way that makes me want another sip. Cheers!
