How does this rum taste?

Exceptional Neisson with a stunning balance of powerful flavors that are intense yet not overwhelming. Notes of spices, toasted nuts, and citrus blend with a subtle sweetness that lingers. It's rich, smooth, and wildly praised for its complexity.

“A long sought sample! I am curious...Very oily, thick streaks.In the nose honey, the Neisson typical cookies, citrus give freshness. Very nice sticky notes. Various spices. Complex and layered.In the mouth it feels a bit thin at first, then a potpourri of citrus hits. In the finish then ultra-beautiful, but this could be a bit longer.Hammeragricole! Very complex and fine, easy to drink. Strong parallels to the 9 year old. No idea why this is still available.The 2004 Vintage scores with dried fruit, the 2005 more with the freshness of citrus. Both ultra-good.”

“A Neisson that rhymes with elegance. The nose is greedy on sugar cane, caramel and cookie, fine on a melted woodiness that tends towards tobacco and chocolate, subtle on dried and exotic fruits, slightly fresh on vegetables, but above all abundant on spices and nuts. A complete and complex profile. The profile on the palate is intense, dry and complex. More vegetal and agricultural than on the nose, the scents of grass and sugarcane are slightly bitter. The woodiness is present, but it's the spices that offer the most on the palate: cinnamon, chili pepper, black pepper, ginger, aniseed and vanilla bring vivacity and complexity to this very versatile profile. Citrus fruits add a touch of freshness in the background. Alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long and dry, but round. Spices, nuts, chocolate and coffee bring a sweetness that counterbalances the agricultural, green, bitter and vegetal side for a subtle, delicate balance. A Neisson with a greener, drier profile than the 2007 vintage, but a very high level of versatility, intensity and depth.”

“On the nose we find dried fruits, nuts, vanilla, leather, chocolate and honey. The rum coats the palate well, it is creamy, complex and warm. The dried fruits and the chocolate make this palate very greedy. The finish is long, still on the greediness with caramel and cocoa. A very good rum, greedy and complex.”

“Tasted together with the 'normal' Neisson 2005 (12 years, 49.7%). The slightly higher ABV of the Velier is definitely noticeable on the nose, it makes the Velier a bit more 'grippy'. In the normal 2005, the (green) fruit notes are a bit more present, it also seems a bit rounder. On the palate, both come with extreme complexity and an endless finish! Agricole of the very top drawer!”
