This family distillery was founded in 1930 and is the smallest destilery in Martinique. Jean, one of the founding brothers, was a qualified chemical engineer and dedicated his professional life to improving distillation techniques. The distillery has for many years focused on the cultivation of several varieties of sugar cane in accordance with the principles of organic farming and is considered one of the best producers of "agricole" rums on the planet. In a bottle awaits you a rum made from fresh fermented juice that is left to ferment for about 2 to 3 days, which is then distilled on a copper distillation column into a first-class agricole rum, bearing the prestigious A.O.C. label. Martinique.
This white agricole rum with a sailboat on the label has been made exclusively from organically grown sugar cane. It is characterised by its clear colour and its lightness of flavour is enhanced by notes of fresh fruit and flowers. Although it is a 52.5 % alcohol rum, you won't detect a strong and sharp aroma of alcohol. The Neisson Agricole Blanc is a light, fresh and sweet rum, showing hints of citrus fruits with a hint of white pepper.
The brown agricole rum Neisson Reserve Speciale is one of the top agricole rums in terms of taste and aroma and has won several prestigious competitions. Its taste is fresh and sweet, with subtle notes of sweet fruit, vanilla, coconut, and spices. It is best enjoyed on its very own and without ice. Don't forget to smell the bottle after opening it. Its shy aroma will intoxicate you and then warm you up with each sip with an unobtrusive sweet caramel finish.
