Neisson 2016 Profil 107 1-Year

C'est un petit trésor dans la bouteille. Plus foncé, plus riche, plus caramel que profil 105. Il déploie son potentiel avec une tarte aux fruits (cerise, quetsch) et aux amandes. C'est bluffant pour un si jeune jus.

Visited the Neisson distillery while vacationing in Martinique. Self guided distillery tour ended with an open tasting bar. Neisson Profil 107 was priced at EUR 23 per bottle at the distillery. Unique frosted glass bottle design with no label. Light golden color. Traditional sweet Rhum Agricole flavors complemented with plenty of grass, some florals, a lot of oak and some citrus notes to the nose and palate. Strong burn at the end. Rhum Agricole fan boys can easily add 2 points to my score.

This young fellow (only 18 months) compares greatly to older rums. Thanks to the magic of several "burned" barrels used to age it (both US Bourbon and european oak).
I really like the buttery creme brûlée taste of this one. It's a traditional "agricole" rhum though so I'm not saying it's sweet!
His brother the profil 105 has different and stronger flavors but that 107 is really easy to sip...

Plus gourmand que le profil 105. Un excellent produit, bien équilibré.

C'est une vraie réussite. Ce rhum ambré peut en remontrer à pas mal de rhum vieux. Les sorciers Neisson ont réussi un tour de force. Un nez fruité, caramélisé et une bouche douce, toute en rondeur. Le tout à un prix raisonnable. Que demander de plus ?

It's a real success. This rum amber can beat a lot of old rum. The Neisson wizards have achieved a tour de force. A fruity nose, caramelized and a sweet mouth, all in roundness. All at a reasonable price. What more ?
