"Very good Agricole. Very complex. Good PLV."
"Overall a very smooth, elegant and delicate Agricole as all rum I’ve tasted from Neisson. The Neisson distillery was founded by two brothers in 1931 and are still family owned, just one out of two independent family owned distilleries in Martinique. In 1952 they installed a copper Savalle still in production. Today they have 49 hectares to grow their cane of which 4 is organic which make them self-sufficient with raw material. Neisson produces just Agricole and presses its juice in an old mill from 1937. Fermentation with own yeast strains takes place in stainless steel vats up to 5 days, which is very long and the maximum time allowed by AOC. The rum taken out from distillation on the old Savalle column has a strength of 73% whereafter it’s placed in stainless steel tanks where it’s blended and diluted before bottled respectively put in barrels for aging. This XO rum is a blend of rums aged 9, 11 and 12 years old, aged in French oak barrels and ex-American Bourbon barrels."
"Very good agricole rum considering it is only an XO. I was not expecting less from Neisson."
"Lange habe ich diesen Neisson nicht mehr im Glas gehabt. Seit der ersten Verkostung habe ich mein Rum-Interesse immer mehr Richtung Agricole gelenkt. Auf diesen Neisson hatte ich mich heute sehr gefreut. Vielleicht waren die Erwartungen einfach zu hoch. Ein guter Neisson mit typischen Agricole Noten und einer sehr prägenden pflanzlichen erdigen und medizinischen Note im Abgabg, die mir überhaupt nicht gefällt. Dennoch ein guter Rum."
