Neisson L‘Esprit de Neisson Bio

"What a nice release and that they're back at 70% again. Intense and fruity with nice floral notes. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the nice flavours. Also needs to rest for a while before giving it a go."

"Neisson is with this 2020 L'Esprit Bio 70% back with a 70% version of their L’Esprit Bio after having released a 66% version in between. It’s made from red cane in the Neisson column still whereafter it’s after resting is bottled without any reduction. Overall a great AOC Agricole Blanc that’s very, almost too intense."

"Holy smokes! Uncorking the bottle, I honestly though „is this a Ti Punch pre-mix 😱“ (obviously hoping such thing does not exist)… intense citrus zest and some sweetness on the nose. Very nice. Also very good on the palate as well. Lime and grapefruit. Well balanced. I don’t get vegetal notes really. Quite some sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel. Drinks way to smooth for its ABV. Excellent white Agricole - recommended!"

"Alcohol very well integrated for the many percentages. Very nice fruitiness!"

"For me, this type of rum is not for drinking straight. I have to admit that it doesn't really suit my taste. Nevertheless, it is a very fine drop that I can imagine very well as a mixer in a Ti punch, for example."

"Already a very cool rum. Grassy, sugar cane, concentrated on the nose with some lychee. Also nice and pleasantly dry on the palate. Great in the Ti Punch. Less olive and drier compared to the Langueteau Genesis tasted at the same time."

"C'est net et précis. Une très belle expression du rhum Agricole."

"A rum that leaves no one indifferent. The nose is intensely floral and fruity, with sweet hints of lychee and sugarcane. The palate is powerful yet well-balanced. A hint of saline and citrus fruit completes the picture. Despite a high voltage of 70%, this rum reveals itself to be very supple and complex, very aromatic and pleasant. The finish is long and very warm. Another Neisson gem."

"very exciting Agricole blanc.marzipan, chamomile tea, green apple and honey brioche on the nose, plus some kiwi and rose.taste then more kiwi, green apple (almost towards Calvados) with salted brioche toast, roseflower water, honey and grapefruit jam.for 70% in addition still good to drink neat!🤙im daiquiri slays one then first roseflower water and honey, as well as peel of green apple and kiwi. incredibly tasty and harmonious! 🌹🤤🍏🥝"

"Ah ! Neisson l'esprit, la création des bruts de colonne. Enfin je le goûte. Un nez tout à fait accessible malgré les degrés. Frais, très sucré, il ne manque pas d'élégance avec son côté floral. La bouche est intense mais la sucrosité est tel qu'on ne se doute pas qu'il puisse y avoir 70° là dedans. Outre les agrumes et la canne gorgée de sucre, on y trouve un côté reglissé et zeste de citron. La finale est longue et sucrée avec un légère aspect terreux. Un beau rhum."

"On the nose corn, fermented fruit, lychee, seaweed. The palate, on the other hand, opens on notes of roasted nuts (especially hazelnuts, cashews, and pine nuts), floral, forest, vegetable, pepper, kiwi, and barricaded brandy. Truly stunning. Lingering, oily slightly savory finish, alcohol is perfectly integrated, shows 20 degrees down. A complex and refined pearl"

"Le tout meilleur !! Sucré salé l’umami du rhum ! J’aime le boire glacé désolé les puristes !"
