Japan Import System Neisson Fût Unique (Japan Import System) 2004

The nose promises sweet, but the palate doesn't deliver it — that's the surprise here. This 2004 Neisson single cask smells of raisins, dried fruit and creamy sugarcane, then turns dry and woody on the tongue: toasted oak, nutmeg, bourbon-barrel spice over fresh grassy cane. One taster needed 20 minutes for it to open into glue and eucalyptus. Long, tannic, spicy finish.

Aged agricole, sweet nose but dry woody palate A well-regarded aged agricole where heavy cask meets fresh cane. Fans of Neisson call it a great vintage; the sweet nose fooling a dry palate is the recurring note.

One of the perks of being married to a Japanese is that once in a while she brings home exciting rums. This is one of them and it's a great one. Very fruity with oak and spice. Very smooth on the palate and a wonderful finish. There is something surprisingly fresh from nose to finish.

The soft grass flavor is spot on. The aroma is buttery and cheesy, but the flavor is spot on. It's really good.

Distillery

Neisson 

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 230 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.
