Aroma visualization from community tastings
Velier Neisson Cuvée Chai 5 Adrien 2016
The surprise here is how gentle it drinks for 55.8% — young cane juice with honey, almonds and fresh-cut grass, a floral, minty side, and plenty of young oak. Several tasters call it the lightest and most herbal of the three 2016 Neisson single casks. One French reviewer found it "plus feutré," softer and more restrained on fruit than its siblings. A dry, tannic, slightly short finish.
The community says- Honeyed cane sweetness
- Grassy and floral

Light, herbal agricole with honey and young oak Well-liked agricole: honeyed cane, grass, almonds and young wood, dry and tannic. A few felt it too soft and short-finished compared to the darker cask #2.

Review by Maarten Leewis 🇳🇱
A good second, ‘chai vevert’ is the clear winner
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is also an older tasting. Price to quality is very good on this one as well. Lightly fruity and the floral notes are far lighter. The palate is lightly dry but delicious. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some licorice and herbal notes.
Review by Oliver
Very inviting and pleasant nose. Baked apple and almonds come to mind. On the palate, a nice combination of spice, citrus and young wood. I like it much better than the "Vevert".
Review by raphael galak
Le Adrien est plus feutré et plus sobre en fruits! On est sur une gourmandise équilibrée! 🧡
Review by Santo
Un bon petit Neisson, le nez est agréable avec la douceur du miel la viennoiserie et quelques fruit sec. La bouche est un peu plus fruité plus végétale. La finale est courte dommage.
Review by Joachim Guger
In the nose furniture polish, almonds, cookie part. A great plastic note in the mouth. Great, tingly finish, which is unfortunately a bit short. Very drinkable Neisson, but not upper league. Doesn't get that latte.
