Neisson VSOP Vintage Edition (LMDW) 2014
Toasted oak, coconut and fresh sugarcane lead here, with cinnamon, vanilla and a chocolate-nutty edge from the new-cask aging. The nose wins most people over — floral, fruity, surprisingly deep for 44%. The catch shows up on the palate: several tasters call it thin or watery mid-sip before a nice woody finish returns. Classic Martinique agricole that punches above its ABV.
The community says- Complex, deep nose
- Punchy for 44%

How does Neisson VSOP Vintage Edition (LMDW) 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Fragrant oaky agricole, thin mid-palate Well-liked for a fragrant, complex nose and real character at 44%. The recurring gripe: the palate reads a bit diluted and flat before the woody finish saves it.

Cracked open the next 3 samples from my present. This is a very nice Neisson and the price tag is pretty much spot on compared to what you get. Fruity and fresh with nice spices and roasted/smoky wood.

My first bottle of a Neisson Rhum. When I tried it for the first time, I thought it was very good, but now I have to qualify this somewhat. It's still a good agricole which, despite its elegance, is somewhat sharp on the palate and has a very simple, woody, toasty finish.
Review by Joachim Guger
At the beginning, I think a Caroni got lost in the glass.😅A very balanced, not particularly dirty one. With some breathing, Neisson-typical cookie dough and macaroons come in. Great, complex and balanced nose. Surprisingly mature for its age. Very powerful considering the alcohol content. Very watery and thin in the mouth, before great notes linger on the palate in the finish. I've noticed this peculiar effect several times with Neisson. A great, still very young Neisson, which appears as Caroni at the beginning. An absolute recommendation.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est boisé (le fût neuf Profil 105 a fait le boulot). On y retrouve du chocolat épicé avec une pointe de vanille et un soupçon de fruité (fruits tropicaux : papayes – figues). Le nez est équilibré mais pas ultra gourmand, tirant sur la fraîcheur. En bouche, l’attaque est tout en douceur. Les fruits secs apparaissent, ainsi que de la vanille mais le boisé est majoritaire bien évidemment. La finale est sur le boisé avec un léger manque de longueur (mais c’est normal, ce n’est qu’un VSOP). C’est bien équilibré, mais cela manque un peu de gourmandise.

Trotz der nur 44% gibt es eine schöne voluminöse Nase. Diese ist fruchtig-floral und holzig-würzig. Zunächst habe ich eine süßliche und zugleich trockene, harzige Weinnote mit einem Hauch Essig. Dazu gesellen sich Vanille, etwas Kakaopulver und etwas Nelke. An Frucht finde ich mehlige Banane mit Kokos und etwas frischer Limette. Und dann ist er doch wieder erdig gedeckt mit etwas Kamille. Am Gaumen zwar aromatisch, aber auch etwas flach. Klar, er ist ja verdünnt! Typisch Agricol: habe sofort diese grünen, grasigen Noten. Harzig-erdig, leicht salzig mit Muskat und Nelke. Dazu ein Hauch Limette und Kokos. Am Ende kommt das das frisch geschnittene Zuckerrohr mit Anis. Klassisches Profil und durchaus lecker, trotz der nur 44%.

Schöner Daily 😁 ziemlich kräftig trotz der geringen ABV
Review by French_Rhumeur
Nez plus envoûtant qu’en bouche. Manque un peu de peps.
Review by Mike H.
Another agricole that is a touch too green/grassy for me. I like the woody ones better. The ABV is a little low to my taste as well.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute surprise offender. 5y and only 44% but very aromatic, sweetish after milk chocolate, cinnamon, porridge with apples, hazelnuts and coconut. I like, only with 150€ a little too expensive. Surprisingly complex despite only 44
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un nez épicé (cannelle, muscade) et légèrement boisé. Avec l'ouverture ce sont la canne à sucre, les fruits secs et la noix de coco qui dominent. Des notes de cacao et de moka font également une brève apparition mais restent en retrait. La bouche est ronde sur la noix de coco, la vanille, la noix et une belle canne à sucre bien fraîche. La finale est moyenne avec de la vanille et un boisé légèrement fumé. Un excellent VSOP. La réduction est maîtrisée et le rhum, bien qu'assez rond, développe une palette aromatique variée et équilibrée.

Ce goût épicé me fait penser bcp au depaz..
Review by alex
Superbe neisson. J’adore 😍 Belle longueur, alcool parfaitement intégré, belle douceur, nez très gourmand et explosion en bouche.
Review by Simon Leroux
Pas un mauvais rhum, loin de là, mais très classique, tout en finesse. Un bon rhum mais vendu un peu cher et qui n'a pas le niveau attendu d'une édition limitée Neisson
Review by Sebastian.W
The nose is very promising with barrel notes next to lots of fruitiness, spice and mint. Too bad the taste can't deliver due to the overdilution. Here I mainly get barrel notes with cinnamon and vanilla.
Review by Ma_Lau
bel équilibre des saveurs tant au nez qu'à la bouche. léger boisé en fin de bouche
