The surprise here is how gentle it drinks for 55.8% — young cane juice with honey, almonds and fresh-cut grass, a floral, minty side, and plenty of young oak. Several tasters call it the lightest and most herbal of the three 2016 Neisson single casks. One French reviewer found it "plus feutré," softer and more restrained on fruit than its siblings. A dry, tannic, slightly short finish.
The community says- Honeyed cane sweetness
- Grassy and floral

8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is a fresh, herbaceous sugar cane with tea, spicy and nutty wood, tropical fruits like banana and coconut. On aeration, the cane becomes sweet with honey, flowery, minty, mineral, earthy with tobacco, some hay and sap pop up. The wood is slightly roasted with confectionery and chocolate. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fresh, sweet, delicious with sugarcane honey, flowery and grassy, fruity with citrus like grapefruit, peaches, later banana and woody with nuts, confectionery, spicy with vanilla, after resting the rum resinous, tannic, the cane becomes herbaceous, some tea is there, also licorice. 8,4:The finish is long, dry and tannic, spicy, the cane is earthy, grassy, floral, paired with banana, coconut and citrus, crispy confectionery, darker notes like dark chocolate, leather and licorice... Edit:10.10.25, oxidation helps rounding the rum, 0.1 upgrade

In the nose furniture polish, almonds, cookie part. A great plastic note in the mouth. Great, tingly finish, which is unfortunately a bit short. Very drinkable Neisson, but not upper league. Doesn't get that latte.
Review by Oliver
Very inviting and pleasant nose. Baked apple and almonds come to mind. On the palate, a nice combination of spice, citrus and young wood. I like it much better than the "Vevert".
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is also an older tasting. Price to quality is very good on this one as well. Lightly fruity and the floral notes are far lighter. The palate is lightly dry but delicious. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some licorice and herbal notes.
Review by Santo
A good little Neisson, the nose is pleasant with the sweetness of honey, pastries and some dried fruit. The palate is a little more fruity and vegetal. The finish is short, too bad.
Review by raphael galak
Adrien is more muted and more restrained in fruits! It's a balanced indulgence! 🧡
Review by Maarten Leewis 🇳🇱
A good second, ‘chai vevert’ is the clear winner
Review by Dr.Django
Comparison between the three Neisson 2016 Chai 4yr. Cask #5 The lightest color already indicates that this rum has the lightest and most herbal notes. That is indeed the case. Lots of young wood, grass and plants, flowers and polish. 73 points Cask #2 The darkest in color of all three. On the palate clearly warmer, fuller and more astringent than its brothers. Red fruits, tobacco, leather and wood. Wonderfully long warm finish. 84 points Cask #4 The fruitiest of the trio with an interesting grassy caramel-citrus note in the finish. Slightly bitter, lies somewhere in its aroma spectrum between grassy and leathery. 75 points
