Neisson - Vieux | French Rum

Since its creation in 1931, the Neisson distillery has preserved the purest tradition Martinique agricole rum. A grain to glass operation, Neisson control their entire production and their rhum is made to Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) guidelines.

Le Rhum Vieux par Neisson was released to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the small Neisson distillery, and revisits the range which made its reputation for many years. Le Rhum Vieux par Neisson, an aged version of Le Rhum par Neisson, is made from pure juice of freshly squeezed sugar cane, an almost typically French exception in this world where most rums are made from molasses. After distillation, the rhum is matured in a combination of French Limousin oak casks and American ex-bourbon barrels for between 3 to 9 years. The result is a perfect example of an AOC Martinique aged agricole rhum, with a nice balance between the fruitiness of sugar cane, honey and the vanilla / spicy / tannic notes introduced through the aging process.
