Neisson Straight from the Barrel No. 258
Sipped neat at cask strength, this drinks fresher and greener than the amber colour suggests — sugar cane, cut grass and clear citrus up front, with real oak from around five years in barrel. One taster puts it on the "darker side" of Neisson: dark fruit, older wood, dry finish, and the 58.8% sits surprisingly well integrated. Grassy and firmly agricole, so know what you're in for.
The community says- Fresh grassy agricole
- Well-tamed alcohol
- Short finish

Review by Leo Tomczak
Great newisson, great POS
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Pleasant Agricole.
Review by Boletus
Ein kräftiger Agricole, der in seinen ca. 5 Jahren Reifezeit eine ordentliche Portion Eiche mitbekommen hat, aber weit davon entfernt ist, überholzt zu sein. Die Grundausrichtung bleibt stets frisch und grasig mit erkennbarer Zitrusfruchtigkeit, was in Kombination mit dem deutlichen Fasseinfluss ein stimmiges Gesamtbild schafft. Ein paar mehr tropische Fruchtaromen würden mir zwar noch besser gefallen, aber auch so ist dies ein feiner Rhum.
Review by Buddudharma
Nicely balanced profile, but a little more depth and fruitiness would be necessary to achieve a top rating.
Review by Johannes
A little too young for me, too grassy. There are better neissons.
Review by Thunderbird
A fairly good Neisson with a restrained, fresh nose, a pleasantly spicy, fresh palate and unfortunately a rather short finish. It lacks a little complexity
Review by Serge
Relatively fresh Neisson with a citrus nose - caramel only very far in the background. Then nutty on the palate and some licorice on the back. Typically Neisson high level without any off-notes, but it doesn't appeal to me - but I'm also not a big Agricole fan or connoisseur
