Neisson 18 Years 1997
Eighteen years in oak, and it still reads fresh — that's the surprise here. This Neisson agricole leans on roasted wood, orange peel and prune, with vanilla and a chocolatey finish that a few members say goes on and on. At 46%, the alcohol barely shows; several call it the most balanced, roundest agricole they've tasted. Distinctly Neisson, and clearly a special-occasion pour.

The look inside the bottle
How does Neisson 18 Years 1997 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Rounded, aged Martinique agricole for sipping The consensus is easy: even better than the well-loved 15-year, prized for its balance and integrated wood. Only knock is that it's a rare, limited bottle you won't casually restock.

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 !

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
