Neisson 2016 Le Rhum Vieux Par For Ed Hamilton Aged For 41 Months in French Limousin

Still sippable, but it’s hot.
Some agricole flavors
& wine/ cognac etc
Slightly oaky

Lots of oak and spice on the nose. Less oak on the palate, but still a pretty dominant flavor.

Finally an aged Agricole that tastes like Agricole. Love it.

I’m really loving this Rhum! Buttery smooth vanilla, grass and green apples with a perfect wet mouth kiss of oak. Slight bite at the end, but then a whisper of sweetness to seal the deal. I haven’t tried it YET as a Ti Punch, but I’m guessing this will be awesome! Grab a bottle If you can, (426 bottles)and enjoy the taste of Martinique. Very Impressive!

This rum reminds me of when my friends were getting me to dive into scotch. This is a top of the line aged Agricole rum, it has turned down the grassy freshness of unaged rums from Martinique, and picked up the flavors of the inimitable Limousin oak (normally reserved for Remy Martin only). Bottle at a high proof, adding a touch of water to sip, or a tiny slice of lime + ice for a Ti' Punch, this is a truly outstanding bottle. I look forward to other offerings from Neisson, and diving even further.
