Neisson Profil 62 (65 ans LMDW)

#5003 27.12.2024 Enjoying a few samples at home while watching Harry Potter Baking Competition. Nose Faint wood, floral, spice, light plum, sugarcane, Agricole, light coconut, light anise, sweet. Palate Balanced, sweet, round, sugarcane, light floral, spice, light honey, light grass, coconut, fruits. Finish Medium long, balanced, sweet, light floral, light citrus, light honey, sugarcane. The empty glass has light pear, clove and light medicinal notes.

In the 20th RX- Calendar sample today a Neisson (correctly typed). Aromas of grass and plants, mint, young wood. Overall a bit more subtle than the previous Agricole in the calendar. On the palate also rather mild, Young wood, Honey, Vegetable. Alcohol well integrated.

For me, not really typical Agricole! I miss something the vegetal notes! Overall, however, a good rum and for its young age already quite woody

#20 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: N: Agricole, sugarcane, fresh, young wood, sweet, honey M: fresh, vegetal, chocolate, honey F: oak, sweet, dry, young wood Prediction: this is an agricole for sure, hard to name the destillery, approx. 45% and max. 10 years …. It‘s an easy sipper. A good rum for beginner-advanced. Nothing really special. Nose: agricole, fresh, vegetal, minty, sugarcane, sweet, honey, young wood, spice Mouth: agricole, fresh, vegetal, grass, creamy, intense, dry, woody, chocolate, vanilla, honey, sugarcane, light Finish: short, woody(oak), vanilla, young wood, herbal, sweet

Nose: the alcohol is strong in you, young pada-rum (poor quote, here!). Then, I’m starting to get some spices (vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, maybe ginger), along with a subtle nutty flavor (hazelnut and/or chestnut). It slowly evolves into what I sense as sweet citrus, maybe candied orange peel. The herbal/fresh note becomes more present. Palate: the very same candied orange peel is what I get right off the bat, followed by light wood. Then it develops into something more fresh and grassy. On the fruity side, I still get (with the help of water) raisins.

Day 20 RumX Advent Calendar: Nose: sweet, honey, toffee, raisin, sherry, slightly grassy fresh. Palate: mild, approx. 45-50%, grassy. More accessible than complex, but delicious.

RumX Adventskalender 2021 Tag 20

Day 20 in the Advent calendar and today again something fresh An Agricole with a nice floral profile. Now that I know what it is I also taste the bourbon barrel stronger out. Has gained considerable influence after only one year. Really pleasant to drink, can be fun. Now I must necessarily times to unaged Neisson ran. Can already taste the Ti Punch 😁

RumXmas #20, blind: Nose: honey, bourbon (vanilla), sugar cane, oak and a bit of spices (pepper/ginger) Mouth: tastes like an agricole for me, but no “heavy” agricole (bit of grappa but not that much compared to other agricoles) with fresh grassy notes, grapes, plums, dried fruits, light wood. Feels a bit thin but could be misleading. So not sure about the ABV. Would guess under 50% Finish: vegetal, fresh, grassy, young wood Because of the bourbon aspects in the nose, it reminds me a bit of the HSE American barrel that we had before in the advent calendar. But I can’t really say what country. Hell, maybe it’s even something fresh cane juice from Foursquare 🤷‍♂️ Feedback from this: what I identified as “bourbon” was probably new oak wood. Keep on tasting, learning and experiencing 😊

an der Nsse erinnert er mich ein wenig an den HV Privateer 2017, viel Sägewerk bzw. junges Holz, Gewürze und eine deutliche Süße. Statt den bei Agricole oftmals vorhandenen, frischen, grassigen Noten, geht es eher in Richtung Heu oder getrocknete Küchenkräuter. Am Gaumen viele Gewürze und ebenfalls eine ausgeprägte Süße, die im Abgang würzig-pfeffrig wird. Solider Sipper.

RumX-Adventskalender, 20.12., blind. Erster Eindruck: eindeutig Agricole, leider, wie fast immer, verdünnt. Nase besser als Gaumen. Nase: sehr kräuterig, Heu und grün. Frucht leicht Richtung Apfel und etwas würzig mit Vanille. Hat sicher auch was von alter Butter. Gaumen: doch sehr verdünnt, leicht holzig mit einer feinen Lakritz-Note. Gras und Heu mit Kamille und Liebstöckel. Hinten wieder kräuterig. Heu und Liebstöckel auch im recht kurzem Abgang. So verdünnt werde ich kein Freund vom Agricole.

Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. Un très beau Neisson qui va dans la lignée des 102 et 105.

RumX Advent Calendar 20.12.21: clear Agricole. I found the mouthfeel and the various flavors in the mouth very appealing. In combination with the nevertheless very present salt, both in the nose and in the mouth, I was mentally at Trois Rivieres. Overall good.

Fine Neisson but when you’ve tried the more full fledged expressions it’s impossible not to feel that you’re drinking a Potemkin village version of the full thing. It’s like entering a nice house where someone has stolen all the furniture.

Nice melange of fresh vegetal notes, somewhat carried spicy aromas and quite clear sweetness. The alcohol is excellently integrated.
