Organic rum by Neisson 52.5°: Description and customer reviews

Neisson obtained “AB” certification in 2016. After releasing two first versions on the market in 2016 (one at 55° and the other at 66°, both sold out very quickly), then a third at the end of 2017 ( L'Esprit Bio), here is a fourth version released at the beginning of 2018 in mainland France: Organic rum by Neisson .

The vintage appears on the bottle: the rum currently available is 2020.

Nico's tasting notes

In brief: dry - mineral - fresh - strong spices - vegetable - fruit

The "classic" version, which was not yet organic, already offered us a complex rum, marked by cane, citrus and fruit. This version goes even further in its craftsmanship and complexity, with the added bonus of a more rustic touch. See for yourself:

The first nose is unadorned, in the manner of a traditional Martinique white rum. With its rather dry, mineral profile, this is a serious rum that doesn't play the easy seduction game. There's a great freshness, a peppery breath that has undressed a lime to take its zest with it. The cane remains upright in the midst of the storm, massive, monolithic. It's as if preserved and whole, its tender flesh with its juicy fiber wrapped in its dry bark. Suddenly, a minty headwind takes us by surprise.
Aeration takes us straight to the distillery, where we lean over the fermentation vat to take a closer look at the vesou. The cane juice is hard at work, bubbling with powerful, organic aromas, fermentation in full swing. Resting our noses a few moments later, we move on to the distillation side. The liquid appears limpid, dry and mineral, with sharp, penetrating, very lemony aromas.

Like the historic version of Rhum par Neisson, the palate offers great presence and still plenty of freshness.

The first taste is a one-way trip to Martinique. Once again, this is THE Martinique rum as we like it. The fiber of the cane comes to the fore, with all its earthiness and pepperiness. This dryness is so refreshing and authentic. Of course, it goes without saying that the rum doesn't come with its big hooves; it's all chiseled and delicate. The palate is lined and flattered just right, with restraint - it's not about being cheesy.

The finish is long and vegetal, still dominated by the fiber and bark of the cane. Lime zest and pepper cushion the descent, we're well...

"A great white rum, no more, no less, a real little piece of Martinique. This organic version goes even further than the original in terms of mastery and fidelity to the terroir. I can only imagine the royal ti'punch that will follow..."

  10. Didier THOMAS

    A very pretty nose, intense and delicate. What bothers me about this Neisson is the earthy note, which is a little too pronounced. The pleasantly oily texture makes up for it. A good rum, but a rather high price for this quality.

    On the nose 👃🏻: the cane is straight, juicy and clearly in the spotlight in the middle of the glass. This is a rum that reveals considerable sweetness, a real bonbon in the first few minutes. There's some lime zest and mainly a herbal side that comes through later, but without excess. It manages to remain relatively neutral overall, in the sense that there's an interesting balance that brings a little typicity but where the fresh cane keeps the upper hand. Pepper remains very timid here.

    In the mouth 👅: the attack is particularly smooth and not so dry for a Martiniquais. It's initially quite sweet, all roundness on the cane, then the pepper lands generously behind to deliver a few watts. It intensifies on subsequent sips, a gray pepper I'd say, with a hint of pear and lime zest. Our cane juice also takes on a vegetal note with bagasse, a little more bitter, which comes through more clearly on the finish as the tasting progresses.

    The finish is long, starting with pepper. Then it switches sometimes to an earthier note, sometimes to a more herbaceous one, but always with that slightly sweet counterbalancing touch. The intensity lingers on the palate for quite a while, leaving us with a straw-like aftertaste 👌

    ⚡️ The Neisson 52.5 range is practically unanimous on the specialist groups. It's a good opportunity I've had with this lower-cost organic version which gives me complete satisfaction, it's very pleasant 👍 That said, at full price, it wouldn't have been the same I must admit 😬 First and foremost, we're paying for the AB label.

    Very pronounced sherbet/granita notes that surprised me as a novice. The drink is refreshing and soothing despite the alcohol content.
