Review by EUDIER Vincent
Superb: Fragrant nose Oily, greedy mouthfeel Endlessly chocolaty finish
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one is even better than the 15 year old but also carries a price tag that's a lot heavier. Well rounded and balanced rum with a fruity and floral profile with some spices and nice integrated wood. You barely feel the ABV and it draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass is really nice and fruity.
Review by Adrien B
Nose: superb, fresher than the 15.3, balanced, woody citrus. Palate: fairly smooth attack, smooth development, fairly complex, very pleasant constant freshness overhanging tertiary aromas of tobacco caramel, licorice that brings a heavy misery in opposition. Spice on the side, menthol on the top, greediness and dried fruit heaviness on the bottom. Excellent
Review by BottleShrimp
Line Up Neisson. On passe un cap avec ce 18 ans, juste magnifique. Une merveille d'équilibre et de rondeur, au top des agricoles dégustés jusqu'ici. Le tarif est malheureusement à la hauteur, mais quelle plaisir !
Review by Vidian
Nez vanille, belle rondeur boisée un peu rôtie, pruneaux
Review by Romain de L
Great rum. A lot of complexity in the nose - but quite fresh nonetheless. Well integrated attack with a balanced taste - but very Neisson. Highly recommended
