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.

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!

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 8.4/10 240 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.
