Neisson - Rhum Agricole - Le Rhum Vieux par Neisson

Key words: Intense / Complex / Powerful

The spirit: The Rum Vieux par Neisson is a delicious blend of agricultural rums that have aged between 3 and 9 years in French oak barrels as well as in old bourbon barrels. Both on the nose and on the palate, a great aromatic intensity emerges: woody and spicy notes (oak, vanilla, pepper, clove) mingle very harmoniously with aromas of apricot, stewed white fruits, pineapple, honey and sugar cane. A delicate floral touch completes the great richness of this rum. The finish is very fresh, with vegetal notes of sugar cane. A magnificent old agricultural rum for connoisseurs!

The house : Smallest distillery in Martinique, Neisson looks like a convoluted kaleidoscope of green and pink houses that seem to have wanted to imitate the surrounding lush vegetation. Since 1932, three generations have succeeded each other preserving a know-how from the greatest Martinican tradition. Grégory Vernant-Neisson, young forty-something at the head of the distillery, explains about his rum, which benefits from the AOC Rhum Agricole Martinique: "The first thing to know about Martinican rum is that it is made from the juice of sugar cane directly, not molasses". Behind the Neisson philosophy, particular attention is paid to the terroir value. Because Martinique, with its climate and volcanic soil (especially in the north of the island where the distillery is located), stamps the aromatic palette of Neisson rums with particular flavors recognized throughout the world.
