Ce rhum va vous réveiller ! C'est un vrais rhum agricole assez sec. Personnellement, je les préfère un peu plus doux mais il avouer que l'on aime le boisé, c'est bien visé !

Un bon agricole qui a le goût d'un agricole. C'est un rhum sec sans cette surdose de sucre qu'on trouve dans la plupart des rhums, sans pour autant enflammer les gencives. On ne boit pas du sirop ou de l'alcool à bruler mais du rhum. On retrouve en bouche la chaleur et les saveurs typique d'un agricole qui plairont a ceux qui aiment ce type de rhum mais peut être pas aux amateurs de rhum doux.
This is a good agricole that taste like it should. It's a strong and dry rum without the extra added sugar you can find on most rum but it doesn't burn your mouth either. You don't drink syrop or pure alcool here, it's rum. On the mouth you can feel the typical warmth and flavor of the agricole's rum. It will please the one's who like this kind but maybe not the sweet rum lovers.

I am not very knowledgeable concerning agricole rums so I will offer my thoughts:
The flavor has a noticeable mild sweetness but that is quickly replaced by a marked oak flavor that is not overwhelming. There isn't a harsh burn but more of an overall warmth. It is a very good dry rum.

Definetly taste the french Cognac influences in this one.
A rhum agricole, this one is intense and complex. Butter + scotch. Add an ice cube and enjoy where it goes. Good heart warmer after satisfying dinner.
This rum is really interesting after a good meal with friends. It os not to strong and it is nice to feel this liquor going through your mouth and your tongue. Really nice

My first rhum agricole and I am probably liking it too much, if that's possible.

Bumped this up to a 9, easily one of my top 3 rums ever, at least so far.

As my palette has evolved I like this rhum even more, it is easily an 8.5+. My original assessment that the experience was more "bourbon like' was accurate to a point. I now see this as drinking even more like a really good brandy or cognac. The dryness, complex barrel aging notes of wood and leather combined with the citrus, vanilla and subtle cane sugar undertones are simply outstanding. I still can't believe I lucked into a couple bottles of this at a great price. This is easily one of my top 5 sipping rums now.
I really like a wide variety of styles of rum, but I was a little hesitant to spend the money on an agricole style just because of the number of folks who seem to find the flavor profile off putting.
Well, I found a good deal on a bottle of this Neisson Reserve Speciale and took a chance. Wow, the nose and the flavors are outstanding. The nose presents a nice aroma of very sweet citrus tinged alcohol initially, followed by scents of shoe polish, stone fruit and oak. The flavor profile is equally amazing with additional notes of vanilla, more oak, pepper, and a long dry finish. The whole experience, frankly, is rather bourbon like, which works for me.
Well, now that I have tried, and very much enjoyed my first rhum agricole, I can see I will be indulging in other variations. I probably goofed by spoiling my palette with such a rich expression of the style right off the bat, but such is my cross to bare, oh darn! I will have to seek out a good blanc version to try next.
As a side note, I tried this mixed with Appleton 12 year (half and Half 1 oz each), Senior Orange Curacao, some Liber orgeat and fresh lime for a Mai Tai and OH LORDY was it the BOMB-DIGGITY!
