Neisson L‘Esprit De Neisson
"The nose is as grassy as it gets" — one taster nails it. This is unaged Neisson agricole at a serious 70%, all fresh sugarcane, lime, and green vegetal notes (celery, olives, even a briny edge). Most are amazed how well the alcohol hides; a few find the vegetal side too much and the finish sharp. Best sipped slowly or in a Ti Punch.
The community says- Fresh cane & lime
- Well-hidden alcohol
- Very high ABV

How does Neisson L‘Esprit De Neisson taste?
Aggregated from 141 community reviews.
Intense, grassy white agricole at 70% Loved as one of the best unaged agricoles around — intensely fresh cane, citrus and green notes with the 70% remarkably tamed. The catch: heat and heavy vegetal character aren't for everyone.

Boooooom, that was my first reaction to bthe the nose and palate. This is the best whit rum ever and a hard one to beat, period. The nose really shines through after resting for 15 minutes. A clean and clear Agricole nose with citrus and earthy/grassy notes. Some floral notes there as well. The palate is warm, intense and dry with vegetal/grassy notes and fruit. The finish is sharp and warm with lemon and copper. I did start without adding water and it stands pretty well without it. I did end up adding a few drops to reduce the sharpness.

Alcohol is already present, but integrated ok. All in all, a nice white Agricole with green notes of olives and vegetables, as well as beautiful fruit. But to be honest, I can't understand the extremely good ratings.
Review by Righrum
One of the best unaged agricole I ever drank. The abv makes it a rum not for everyone, but if you're able to sip it, it will reward you with mint freshness, sugarcane and lime traits, an oily body and a long lasting finish
Review by Marcel.
Nose: lime, vegetable, coconut, sweet Taste: sweet, veggies, grassy, earthy,coconut Finish: long, grassy, lime, metallic. Intense, would have never thought a white rum could be this intriguing. The 70 abv feels like 55% … great stuff. will probably always have 1 of these in my bar.
Review by RumTaTa
Crass stuff! The nose starts fresh with lime, sugar cane and also a little with freshly cut vegetables (celery?)!In the mouth then very intense, I have not experienced anything like this in an unaged rum. The alcohol is present but does not interfere. The notes from the nose are joined by a slight bitterness that goes super with the sweetness of the sugar cane.The finish fades fairly quickly with a distinct grassy note in the foreground. This is by far the "dollste" unaged rum that I know and with a very fair price! Access, enjoy pure or as a banger in any mixer!

It can do something. It tastes very good to me.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solider overproof Rhum Agricole aber noch kein top Level.
Review by Mike H.
I have to say that I’m impressed since I usually dislike vegetal rhum. This is one of the first vegetal agricoles that I actually liked, probably because it isn’t grassy. In addition there is a lot of citrus fruit in the nose and mouth as well as a lovely sweetness.
Review by Galli33
Very cool rhum blanc😎 You can clearly smell/taste various notes! The alcohol is integrated very well and isn‘t overwhelming. PN: Perfect for a Ti-Punch 😜
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
For 70% alc. very pleasant to drink. Nice typical Agricole flavors, plus a great citrus note. Gives a super Ti Punch.
Review by Fasen
Une canne d'une élégance remarquable avec une tram bien typé et intéressante. En effet c'est une palette aromatique qui change, je n'ai jamais eu ces saveurs dans un rhum au paravent, celui-ci a réellement ça propre identité. Ça commence par une super canne confite bien végétale ( Artichauts / Herbes / Salade / Poivrons vert / Concombre ) d'une fraîcheur plutôt raisonnable sur quelques agrumes ( Citron vert / Pamplemousse ). On a une belle sucrosité qui se mélange aux épices douces ( Cannelle / Muscade / Poivré doux ) ce qui est très agréable. Ce brut de colonne et aussi légèrement lacté et cuivré se qui donne une bonne texture. Un excellent brut de colonne.
Review by Martin Spooner
Interessant an dem Rum ist, dass er seine Nase erst nach ein paar Minuten entwickelt. Dann ist sie allerdings ordentlich frisch. Wow ... Was für ein Geschmack. Trotz des hohen Alkoholgehalts wirklich sehr fein zu trinken. Laanger angenehmer fruchtiger Abgang. Ein wirklich wundervoller rum.
Review by Tim
Dieser Rum mit 70° haut dich um...muss verdünnt werden. Wer auf Zitrusfrüchte steht, wird diesen lieben. Bevor man ihn mit Wasser verdünnt, riecht er irgendwie auch nach Milchprodukten wie Joghurt. Etwas verdünnt dann intensiv nach Limette. Weiße Rums sind allerdings nicht ganz auf meiner Wellenlänge, weshalb ich hier nur schwer mehr als 8/10 geben kann.
Review by lars
Certainly not something for every day. But incredibly intense. Krasses stuff.bottle is now open a little longer. Thus, overall a little milder. But still top.
Review by MarcT
A very good white Agricole, another one of them from my tasting Collection. All the required flags are there, the Alcohol is intense but not overpowerering (why do they make some of those rumms at 50% I wonder). The finish is quite long, and has even a hint of wood which I find astounding, as this has not been in any barrel, I believe. Very strange, but nice. I swear, I had no other rum that day...
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, that's a rum to my taste. It may still taste a little alcoholic, but otherwise it has a fresh note. It tastes a lot like lemon, but you can't really say anything against it.
Review by abaker-rum
Olive, olive, olive…the bartender set this on the counter and if I was blind folder I would have thought he set a jar of olives in front of me, it is that pungent. The rum drinks below its 70 proof but still packs a lot of punch. I could see this being a great component in a savory cocktail
Review by HenryL
Super crazy part, can the afternoon first try not quite grab.very exciting, well done and what special! To put me of it ne whole bottle on the shelf he is me but I think a little too vegetable lastig, even if I do not recognize exactly which vegetable it is...
Review by TheJackDrop
Probably the best 70%+ or BDC I've tasted so far! From start to finish, a pure farmhouse of warm cane, citrus and vegetal notes, with superb intensity, virtually no alcohol and a lovely milky texture. Superb!
Review by Renato
The nose is very green, on vegetables.The mouth is full.The finish is weaker.
