So it occurred to me recently that I never actually reviewed Neisson Blanc even though I have had it sitting on my bar for a while. It is widely considered one of the best Agricole Blanc rums around and it famously makes one hell of a Ti Punch. But what about solo? Is it good enough to sip straight on its own. You are damn right it is! Here’s my notes and experience with it solo.

The nose on this Agricole Blanc is pleasant but not terribly complex. The strongest note that stands out is fresh green olives. Past that I get lime peel, sweet and sour pickle juice, fresh sugar cane stalk, and a fascinating, refreshing smell like that of a hayfield covered in dew in the early morning. This rum is all about a sense of refreshment. But the comparatively toned down nose belies what awaits on the palate.

When I take a sip I get an absolute explosion of fresh washed fruit. Imagine biting into an entire handful of blueberries and fresh strawberries. Then take a hefty mouthful of limeade to wash it down. Now peel and eat a lychee while simultaneously thinking about grapefruit. As you are finishing those thoughts, you know that distinct taste that green chili peppers have right before the burn hits? Now wrap all of that together in one mouthful. That’s what this fantastic Agricole is on the palate. The thought that first came to me as I took my first sip was a “fresh fruit explosion”
. The palate here is nothing short of magnificent.

Interestingly and unexpectedly for an unaged rum (in my experience thus far) this Agricole Blanc has a long finish in store as well. It starts with hints of fresh sugar cane stalk which lingers quite a while before slowly transitioning to menthol. After a while my mouth tingles with a peppermint taste and sensation. It’s almost like chewing a fruity peppermint gum...but it is orders of magnitude better than that.

While most, including myself, might recommend this in a Ti Punch, it is just as tasty all by itself. It is perhaps the most refreshing rum I have had to date and well worth a sip on its own. At ~$30 for 1 Liter this is an absolute steal if you can find it. Amazing value.

Short Deacription: Strawberry-Blueberry-Limeade blast finished by peppermint fruit gum dialed to up on max

Nose: Fresh Green olives, fresh sugar cane stalk, lime peel, sweet and sour pickles, dew laden grass

Palate: very fresh, amazing palate! strawberries, blueberries, limeade, lychee, faint grapefruit, fresh green chili peppers prior to the burn,

Finish: fresh sugar cane stalk, menthol, peppermint mouth tingle

Country of Origin: Martinique

Distillery: Thieubert-Carbet

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
