Neisson 2005

A great rum. Elegant, light-footed. Not too woody, not too grassy. Big vanilla notes towards the finish. A fantastic rum at the highest level.

Enjoying this lovely and complex rum before the first tasting of 2023. I love Neisson because their baseline on the older rums is pretty high. Very fruity and fresh with a hint of mint and licorice. Complex and very well balanced 😊 The finish is very long and smooth. Very nice curtains in the glass.

So, after the split, let's pour this long awaited sample... Immediately after pouring, a lot of varnish and solvent. After 10 minutes this has subsided. Now an extremely complex nose, something different with every swirl and difficult to grasp overall - but it's so good.😀 Freshness, spices, orange, the almond cookies typical of Neisson, liquorice, banana, wood, olives, plants etc. Fragile and fine. A little more power wouldn't go amiss.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 In the mouth, first citrus fruits and then a lot of spice from the wood. The finish is awesome. Warm and crispy, good salivation, spicy, woody and yet fine. The high expectations were fulfilled! Great Neisson, I definitely like it better than its vintage brother from Velier. Nevertheless, 2004 is still clearly my favorite vintage.😀

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that a rum with such a "low" percentage could be so good. It certainly comes across as very fresh and fruity on the nose. On the palate, the barrel/wood predominates again, as well as a hint of liquorice and nuts. Thanks to Vienna for the sample.

RX787 vs. RX6418. Phew, a very tight contest between two classics! RX787 is ahead on the nose, it seems more present and older, gnarlier. On the palate, after a long time, the RX6418 pushes itself further and further to the fore. It is sweet and elegant, somehow supple. The RX787, on the other hand, has more wood and power and is somewhat rougher than the RX6418. But it's mercilessly well made! Nevertheless, I find the RX6418 a tick better, more pleasing. Perhaps Luca would have preferred to choose the one for Velier's 70th birthday? 😉

First of all, I'm very surprised at myself that I liked it so much. It's not usually my cup of tea, but this is a really fine drop. I don't always have to have it in my glass, but I do like to drink it from time to time.

Schmeckt mir ganz gut … und das macht mich glücklich. Meine Trefferquote bei Agricoles liegt ungleich niedriger als bei Melasse Rums. Dieser hier holt mich mehr oder weniger gut ab. Nicht zu Agricolig, schöne Bienenwabe, kandiertes, etwas Kleber. Für den UVP würd ich mir zwar lieber was anderes holen, aber der darf dennoch jederzeit gerne wieder in mein Glas.

Wow... Really good Agricole. One of the best I've had in my glass so far... incredibly complex, fruity, woody, sweet .... Really delicious !!! Unbelievable how well Agricole gets by with less ABV.

I love it. It's fresh. Great farming 😍

Very tasty Agricole, which is powerful enough with almost 50% ABV. The nose has just the right amount of everything, fruity, grassy, spicy, woody. The palate is also a completely balanced composition. It is unspectacular at first, but then all the better.

Whaou quel nez ! Beaucoup de fruits, des agrumes confites (orange, kumquat, mandarine) de l'orange sanguine, de la pomme cannelle, des épices de cuisine, ça sent le gâteau de Noël à plein nez. Un boisé ciré, du miel cristallisé. Un voile de vernis. En bouche, du sucre blanc chauffé qui tend vers le caramel, une acidité sur de la carambole et de la pomme verte acidulée, une relative fraîcheur mentholée, corbeille d'oléagineux grillés. Un joli boisé patiné, tout en finesse. Finale sur l'amertume du chocolat noir corsé, un peu de piment doux, bâton de cannelle. Le bois tapisse davantage le palais en fin de bouche.

Excellent Agricole! Light tropical sweetness paired with glue, nut and wood.

Pleasant nose, quite rounded with hints of vanilla and fresh lime. Interesting attack, hints of yellow fruits. Pleasant finish.

Thanks to Joachim for the super nice sample 🤙🏻 Here you‘ll get a super delicious, balanced agricole. It shows some really lovely licorice, minty/menthol and green apple notes on the palate. The finish is long and super delicious with an overwhelming walnut note.

beautiful Neisson. Its a beautiful agricole rum, delicious, balanced. fruits cooked and fresh. the oak is present but in a very elegant way! love this Neisson much more than the velier 2005.
