Neisson Extra Vieux

Not the grassy, green agricole you might brace for — this aged Neisson leans mellow and rounded. Expect sugarcane, light wood and vanilla, with dark chocolate and coconut showing up on the palate for several tasters. One member found it "elegant and surprisingly balanced" for an agricole; a couple noted the alcohol needs a moment to settle and open up.

#4996 24.12.2024 Enjoying an early Christmas sample. Nose Fresh, light, sweet, sugarcane, light wood, spice, light mineral, light raisin. Palate Fresh, balanced, sweet, sugarcane, light Agricole, light wood, grapes, faint salt, light honey, cinnamon. Finish Long, balanced, sweet, light wood, light roasted, faint salt, raisin, light lemon. The empty glass has light nutts caramel and anise. I'm always amazed at how balanced and complex rums they make and still manage to have a mellow expression that everybody could enjoy.

The Neisson Extra Vieux feels elegant and surprisingly balanced for an Agricole. Cane, wood, spices, and vanilla notes combined with a light sweetness blend harmoniously without feeling overloaded.

We have a nice Neisson here. Lacks a bit of power, but otherwise very tasty. The first sip was an intense hit of caramel, which settled over time revealing vanilla and wood.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

This Neisson offers a much more refined and more complex experience. If you are only really familiar with molasses based rums then this may still seem a little odd but it is worth persisting with. There is a definite progression between this and some of the other younger Agricole rhums...

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 240 Rums

Neisson is one of the smallest distilleries on Martinique, making under 2 percent of the island's rum, and one of the two independent family houses among the island's classic AOC distilleries. 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.
