Neisson Réserve Spéciale

Expecting bright, grassy agricole? This one leans the other way. The Limousin oak does a lot of the talking here — oak, cigar and dark chocolate up front, with the cane's vegetal side more buried than you'd think. One taster called it his first aged agricole and needed time with it. Finishes a little bitter, but the kind that pulls you back for another sip.

The community says
  • Well-balanced
  • Oak and cigar depth

Balanced, oak-driven aged agricole, faintly bitter finish Well-balanced, wood-forward aged Martinique agricole that most find harmonious but a touch short on complexity. A slightly bitter finish and buried grassiness split opinion.

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.

A small neisson without much character but the whole remains well balanced. One finds there the standards of neisson nevertheless.

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.
