In 2020, the Neisson distillery celebrated its 88th anniversary with the release of two special edition VSOP rums. The first edition, limited to just 1200 bottles and sold exclusively at the distillery in Martinique, is now available for purchase. This exceptional rum, labeled Neisson VSOP 44% 700ml, spent nearly 5 years maturing in barrels, with aging commencing on July 9, 2015, and bottling on April 16, 2020. The ABV of 44% pays homage to the anniversary (44% = 88 US Proof). Each bottle is individually numbered, enhancing its uniqueness and collectability.
The second VSOP edition, released by La Maison du Whisky (LMDW), follows a different aging process. Distilled in 2014, it spent four months in new Profile 105 barrels, followed by nearly two and a half years in ex-Bourbon barrels, and concluded with two and a half years in ex-Cognac barrels. This version also features a 44% ABV but is limited to 900 bottles. Both editions offer a complex palette of flavors, making them an exquisite addition to any rum enthusiast's collection.
Reviewers have praised the Neisson VSOP for its rich and surprising depth of flavor, especially considering its relatively young age. It is noted for its fresh and fruity profile with balanced spices and wood, making it a well-rounded rum. However, some have expressed a desire to experience it at a higher ABV. Overall, its price-to-quality ratio is outstanding.
The 44% ABV is a nod to Neisson's 88th anniversary, as 44% ABV equals 88 US Proof.
The Neisson VSOP was aged for nearly 5 years in barrels.
Only 1200 bottles of Neisson VSOP were released.
sugary, spicy, sugarcane, citrus, tropical fruit, dried fruit, wood
balanced, peppery, sugarcane, citrus, young wood, spice
sweet, spicy, tropical fruit, sugarcane, grapefruit, anise, warmth
The Neisson VSOP 44% offers a complex and well-balanced rum experience, characterized by its sweet and spicy notes, youthful character, and elegant finish.
The Neisson VSOP 44% is a remarkable rum that delivers a surprising depth of flavor given its age. The balance of fresh fruit, spices, and wood creates a well-rounded and pleasing profile. While some might prefer a higher ABV, the current proof still offers a satisfying and high-quality experience. This limited edition is a true testament to Neisson's craftsmanship and is a worthy addition to any rum collection.
