    How does this rum taste?

    The Zetwal is a rum crafted in Martinique by Neisson, distilled from pure sugarcane juice with an ABV of 49.4%. This sophisticated agricole rum offers a complex profile of woody, chocolate, and roasted coffee aromas. The taste is rich in woody, caramel, and sugarcane notes. Users admire its elegance, balance, and complex blend of spices, fruits, and confectionery nuances. However, some criticism exists regarding its high price, considered excessive by a few, and the slight dilution of its flavor profile. This rum is a harmonious yet intricate representation of Neisson’s distillery expertise, offering unique subtleties and a long, memorable finish.

    Le Rhum est correct mais clairement le prix est déconnecté de toute réalité gustative. Incompréhensible.

    Neisson has clearly pulled out all the stops with this cuvée. The nose is just sublime, with a myriad of spices of all kinds complementing a very elegant and elaborate profile. Patisserie notes of brioche, crème brûlée, toffee, honey and caramel add to the greediness, along with chocolate, mocha and baked apples. The woodiness blends with the fruit (dried, exotic and citrus) and a hint of freshness. It's hard to get much more complete than this. The attack on the palate is incredibly round, with a superb harmony of flavors. Spices, roasted hazelnuts, chocolate, almond, sugarcane, candied fruit (tropical and citrus), wood, tobacco, aromatic herbs and caramel give a great concentration of elegance and complexity. The alcohol is imperceptible, but perhaps just lacks a little pick-me-up to invigorate the profile. The finish is highly aromatic, with tangy citrus, chocolate, espresso, spices of all kinds, melted wood, roasted hazelnut and cane juice. There's a slight agricultural note of fresh, aromatic herbs that returns at the very end. It's a breath of dry but very complex air. All in all, this is a top-quality rum, the secret of which only Neisson knows. However, the quality in no way justifies the totally indecent price of this cuvée, placed in the segment of excessive luxury with a pretty decanter. After the Nonaginta cuvée, this is another red card for Neisson.

    A great, well balanced rum. Maybe just a bit below Sacha, but really high level. Usual neisson notes, spices and sugarcane, the wood and some pastry notes. These neisson are surely a hit, despite high price.
