Neisson Rhum Vieux BIO (LMDW) Batch 2 2023

"This is a quite interesting rum! The nose is a mix of notes from fruit schnaps, sugarcane, hazelnut, citrus and almond. In mouth it’s very balanced and much fruiter, sweetier. The alcohol is integrated very well. Also the barrel stays in the background. The finish is long, dry and delicious. I would say, by far the best of this rum."

"Basically a solid rum, but not quite to my taste at the moment. Unfortunately, the finish and aftertaste are relatively short. From memory, I've had far better Neissons in my glass."

"Die Nase strömt sofort mit einer Zitronen-/Orangenwolke auf einen ein. Dazu gesellen sich Honig, Butterkeks und leichte pflanzliche Aromen. Das gefällt mir richtig gut . Am Gaumen setzt sich dieser Anfang aber leider nicht fort.. er verteilt sich weich im Mundraum (der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden ), eine schwere Süße ist vorhanden und leichte Frucht- und florale Aromen entwickeln sich. Etwas geröstete Nüsse erscheinen auch. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz und typisch Agricole."

"A very young rum, as the color shows. Plenty of citrus and grassy notes on the nose, therefore very fresh and youthful. Nothing special. Then crisp and spicy in the mouth. The best part is the finish. Tingling lemon, grassy.🍋🍋 I'm a big fan of this distillery, but this one disappoints. It somehow doesn't come close to the great Batch #1. 185€ for this bottle?😠Not like that, Neisson."

"Still tastes very young. Lots of floral notes, I miss the typical more mature notes of wood, nut and tropical ripeness."

"Very young Agricole, fresh, fruity nose with citrus fruits. Reminiscent of a fruit brandy. Alcohol is very well integrated. Not bad, but also not outstanding and does not come close to Batch 1."

"Beautiful round young Agricole with lots of floral notes, citrus fruits and pepper. Alcohol is well integrated. Some depth is missing. Wood notes are missing. The longer matured Neisson offers more complexity."

"On the nose, I first notice strong nutty aromas followed by the typical herbal notes. The taste is surprisingly round and pleasantly drinkable for a rum that has probably been aged for a very short time. I really like it."

"Le nez est génial, en bouche un peu moins mais c'est un très beau jeune Neisson. J'ai déjà bien aimé les profils 105 et 107, celui-ci a juste quelques mois de différence (18mois environ) et sa commence à être très intéressant. Encore quelques années et nous aurons des Neisson bio d'exception."

"Doesn't really appeal to me. Young, bright and fruity on the nose with pepper and lime. Sugar cane, lime, pepper, vegetal and citrus zest on the palate. Tastes like Agricole - certainly good, but not my profile."

"Le nez est excellent,un jeune Neisson plein de promesses."

"Al naso dolce e cremoso con pasticceria, nocciole, leggero legno e spezie. Al palato è pepato con nocciole, legno giovane e spezie dolci, nel lungo finale il pepe si fa più presente insieme a un po' d' alcool."

"Bonne bouteille sans être sensationnelle, pas dans mes goûts. Probablement trop jeune, mais indécemment chère pour ce que c’est, je lui mets donc une note moyenne (182€ 🤯)"

"Pour un 3 ans c'est remarquable d'intensité et de complexité. Toutefois bien boisé et intense, il semble un peu trop sérieux."

"Young but solid stuff"
