Toasted oak, coconut and fresh sugarcane lead here, with cinnamon, vanilla and a chocolate-nutty edge from the new-cask aging. The nose wins most people over — floral, fruity, surprisingly deep for 44%. The catch shows up on the palate: several tasters call it thin or watery mid-sip before a nice woody finish returns. Classic Martinique agricole that punches above its ABV.
The community says- Complex, deep nose
- Punchy for 44%
- But: Thin, watery mid-palate

How does Neisson VSOP Vintage Edition (LMDW) 2014 taste?
Summarized by AI from 50 community reviews.
Fragrant oaky agricole, thin mid-palate Well-liked for a fragrant, complex nose and real character at 44%. The recurring gripe: the palate reads a bit diluted and flat before the woody finish saves it.

At the beginning, I think a Caroni got lost in the glass.😅A very balanced, not particularly dirty one. With some breathing, Neisson-typical cookie dough and macaroons come in. Great, complex and balanced nose. Surprisingly mature for its age. Very powerful considering the alcohol content. Very watery and thin in the mouth, before great notes linger on the palate in the finish. I've noticed this peculiar effect several times with Neisson. A great, still very young Neisson, which appears as Caroni at the beginning. An absolute recommendation.

My first bottle of a Neisson Rhum. When I tried it for the first time, I thought it was very good, but now I have to qualify this somewhat. It's still a good agricole which, despite its elegance, is somewhat sharp on the palate and has a very simple, woody, toasty finish.

Cracked open the next 3 samples from my present. This is a very nice Neisson and the price tag is pretty much spot on compared to what you get. Fruity and fresh with nice spices and roasted/smoky wood.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is woody (the new cask Profile 105 did the job). You find spiced chocolate with a hint of vanilla and a touch of fruitiness (tropical fruits: papayas – figs). The nose is balanced but not ultra gourmand, leaning towards freshness. On the palate, the attack is very gentle. Dried fruits appear, as well as vanilla but the woodiness is obviously predominant. The finish is on the wood with a slight lack of length (but that’s normal, it’s only a VSOP). It’s well balanced, but it lacks a bit of gourmandise.
Review by Frank
Trotz der nur 44% gibt es eine schöne voluminöse Nase. Diese ist fruchtig-floral und holzig-würzig. Zunächst habe ich eine süßliche und zugleich trockene, harzige Weinnote mit einem Hauch Essig. Dazu gesellen sich Vanille, etwas Kakaopulver und etwas Nelke. An Frucht finde ich mehlige Banane mit Kokos und etwas frischer Limette. Und dann ist er doch wieder erdig gedeckt mit etwas Kamille. Am Gaumen zwar aromatisch, aber auch etwas flach. Klar, er ist ja verdünnt! Typisch Agricol: habe sofort diese grünen, grasigen Noten. Harzig-erdig, leicht salzig mit Muskat und Nelke. Dazu ein Hauch Limette und Kokos. Am Ende kommt das das frisch geschnittene Zuckerrohr mit Anis. Klassisches Profil und durchaus lecker, trotz der nur 44%.

Nice daily 😁 pretty bold despite the low ABV
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute surprise offender. 5y and only 44% but very aromatic, sweetish after milk chocolate, cinnamon, porridge with apples, hazelnuts and coconut. I like, only with 150€ a little too expensive. Surprisingly complex despite only 44
Review by French_Rhumeur
Nose more captivating than on the palate. Lacks a bit of pep.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un nez épicé (cannelle, muscade) et légèrement boisé. Avec l'ouverture ce sont la canne à sucre, les fruits secs et la noix de coco qui dominent. Des notes de cacao et de moka font également une brève apparition mais restent en retrait. La bouche est ronde sur la noix de coco, la vanille, la noix et une belle canne à sucre bien fraîche. La finale est moyenne avec de la vanille et un boisé légèrement fumé. Un excellent VSOP. La réduction est maîtrisée et le rhum, bien qu'assez rond, développe une palette aromatique variée et équilibrée.
Review by John Coffey
This spicy taste reminds me a lot of Depaz..
Review by Mike H.
Another agricole that is a touch too green/grassy for me. I like the woody ones better. The ABV is a little low to my taste as well.
Review by Simon Leroux
Not a bad rum, far from it, but very classic, all in finesse. A good rum but a bit overpriced and not up to the expected level of a Neisson limited edition.
Review by alex
Superb Neisson. I love it 😍 Nice length, perfectly integrated alcohol, beautiful sweetness, very gourmand nose and explosion on the palate.
Review by Ma_Lau
Beautiful balance of flavors both on the nose and palate. Light woody note at the end of the palate.
Review by Teddy 94
Great !!! So smooth. Please just try and enjoy.
Review by Sebastian.W
The nose is very promising with barrel notes next to lots of fruitiness, spice and mint. Too bad the taste can't deliver due to the overdilution. Here I mainly get barrel notes with cinnamon and vanilla.
