How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the fresh sugarcane and ripe fruit of Neisson's Straight from the Barrel No. 278, rounded by vanilla and toasted wood with a cognac-forward kick. At 58.9%, it's round yet powerful, giving a light tingle and a long, warm finish. A limited 570-bottle release from Martinique, often described as lively; the price tag feels OK and the bold agricole character stands out, backed by 14 RumX reviews.

#5734 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. I just love these Straight from the Cask releases. They're usually pretty different. This one is really good and the price tag is kind of OK. Lots of sugarcane and fruity notes with a light tingle to the palate.
Belle découverte au whisky live ! Nez : vanille douce, épices, une touche florale, des notes herbacées et un bois toasté qui apporte de la profondeur ! Une bouche Ronde et puissante, avec de la canne fraîche, des fruits mûrs, du sucre brun, des épices douces (cannelle) et toujours cette belle empreinte toastée qui accompagne la dégustation Finale : longue et chaleureuse, boisée et vanillée, légèrement sèche, avec un retour herbacé
Enfin, deux Single Casks Straight from the Barrel, sortis spécialement pour le Whisky Live : 2021 Fût 278 – 58.9% : 4 ans en fût de cognac de 600 L, chai Vevert. Profil puissant, très marqué cognac. Trop vif pour moi. 2021 Bio Fût 698 – 56.9% : 4 ans en fût de 225 L ayant contenu du Profil 105 Bio. Plus sur les épices et la canne, et clairement mon préféré des deux.
Cognac, vif puissant
