Neisson Straight from the Barrel No. 26 2018
Younger than you'd guess from the price of admission — this cask-strength Neisson from a single 2018 barrel reads floral and buttery-soft rather than fierce. Sugarcane, young oak and a pastry-vanilla sweetness show up on the palate, drying out to herbal, vegetal notes on the finish. Pleasant and easygoing, but tasters agree the short aging keeps it from getting truly complex.

Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Floral, young agricole that's easy but not deep Members find it likeable and surprisingly round for its age, but not deep — one calls chamomile the main note. In side-by-side flights it lost to older agricoles.

Für das Alter erstaunlich rund und komplex.

Franconian Rum Tasting Gang / 2024-04-19: Neisson Straight from the Barrel No. 26 vs. No. 252 vs. Depaz 2002 Barrel 706 Die beiden Neisson-Abfüllungen sind lecker, aber nicht wirklich komplex. Man merkt ihnen die recht kurze Lagerzeit an. Etwas floral, etwas Zitrusfrüchte, butterweich. No. 252 etwas besser als No. 26. Beide kommen aber nicht an den Dapaz heran, der wunderbar komplex daherkuund dem man seine Reife anmerkt.

Unser Agricole Flight heute abend: Neisson straight from the barrel no26 vs. No252 vs. (Etwas unfair) den Depaz cask strength 2002 barrel 706 26 ist ganz nett, 252 gefällt mir etwas besser aber der Depaz der klare, deutlich reifere und interessantere Sieger mit super Nase (mit ganz leicht Jackfruit/überreifer Mango) und Gaumen.

Franconian Tasting Gang am 19.04.2024 Im Agricole Battle messen sich Neisson Straight from the Barrel No.26, No.252 unf den Depaz CS 2002 Barrel 706 (der hier der unfaire Gegener ist) No.26 kann man mal trinken, ist schon gut , No.252 ist schon etwas besser aber der Depaz macht hier klar das Rennen gegen die beiden anderen. Er ist einfach eine andere Liga.

Bevuta che non soddisfa .. La camomilla è il descrittore unico e principale ; piacevole ma non c’è tanto altro
