Very floral rum in taste and aroma. Hints of limes. It would be excellent for Ti punch

Considered as the "king" for the ti-punch in Martinique.

This is the gold standard for this style, it does all the things an unaged rhum agricole should and represents the AOC with panache.
If I could get everyone trying this style to taste this first I would. So, if you’re reading this - get a bottle.

Got a Tatanka bottle so maybe paid more because of it (super pretty bottle).
So much going on, very complex for a white, but maybe too much tails to the end, too bad, still looking for my perfect white.

Real taste of Rhum Agricole. Crisp, fresh and green notes. Very good for traditional Martinique's Ti'punch

At 50% its hot. Keep a water back handy and adjust to your sipping pleasure.
If you have ever made jam or marmalade then the nose is instantly recognizable. Bring an unlined copper pot of strawberries, sugar and lemon juice up to 220 degree Fahrenheit and your going to know exactly what I'm getting at.
Perfumed and heady on the nose peppery and zesty on the tongue. I love this stuff but one pour maybe two tops if your sipping neat and then move on to the aged stuff or put it in the middle as a superb contrast and refresher.

I enjoy the smell of this rum a lot; it's like sugarcane on a tropical beach (perhaps from the earthiness/grassiness). It goes down rather smooth for 50%abv. To me this doesn't compare to the aged rums, but it's a good agricole nonetheless. I even prefer this to the more expensive Neisson Rhum Reserve Speciale, as this has more flavor.

In previous episode that was Barbancourt vs Trois Rivieres. Tonight this is Clairin vs Neisson - more mighty couple.
Nose: both are pretty aromatic and just Ok. Clairin's is a bit more stronger, full of ripe fruits. Neisson's has some ethanol.
Palate: both are absolutely smooth, rich. Clairin is more oily, fruity, citrus. Neisson is somehow subtile, a little spicy and peppermint. Both cores are delicious licorice, sugar cane.
Aftertaste's duration is infinity.
I have not found favorite between them. Maybe Neisson is easiest to consume. But let Clairin breath for minus 5° - it can open more aroma, taste.
Compared to S1E1 this pair is perfect.

Neisson est réputé pour faire le meilleur rhum blanc de Martinique! En ayant déjà goûté pas mal de rhums blancs, je dois dire que ce Neisson blanc 50 est le meilleur que j'ai pu goûter en ti'punch!

Jerry is right, people from Martinique considers this rum to be the best for Ti Punchs (Half rum + brown caster cane sugar + a quarter of lime).
I'm not that fan of it though. I don't find as sweet as a Clement rum of the same proof for example.

Smells and tastes just like a good artisan cachaca

I finally got to try a rhum agricole from Neisson. Thanks to reading many of the reviews here, my first try was based upon an informed guess combined with my knowledge that too much aging in wood ruins rhum agricoles.
The aroma and taste are just like any premium artisan cachaca except that this 50% ABV can choke you going down neat. I know that is the best recommended rhum for Ti Punch, but I would not waste it on that drink, which is like the Martiniquan version of doing tequila shots. So what lies between neat and Ti Punch? On the rocks and that works best for this drinker. The entire liter of this high proof rhum was only $37 and is readily available in stock not too far away. This also beats the pants off of J M White 80 proof for taste. I doubt that I could find a better white agricole blanc rhum. So why only a 7 rating? I rarely get into my moods for cachacas.
And as others have suggested, this rhum does indeed go well with fruit juices. I tried it with guava nectar as well as guanabana nectar, and both paired quite well with it.
