The Velier 2016 Neisson Chai Adrien #5 4yo Cuvee 55.8% 700ml is a distinct and limited edition rum, emerging from a special collaboration between the famed Neisson distillery and Velier, known for their exceptional commitment to quality rums. Distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2020, this Martinique-origin rum is one of just 380 bottles, making it a coveted collector's item. With an ABV of 55.8%, this four-year-old rum is an embodiment of intricate craftsmanship and a tribute to the rich legacy of Neisson. Encased in a sleek black bottle, this expression from Chai Adrien is celebrated for its excellent integration of alcohol and a refined nose that features light honey, wood notes, citrus, and sugarcane. On the palate, it presents a delightful combination of spices and nuts, albeit with a notably short finish that highlights honey and spices. While some may find it lacking compared to its counterparts from Chai Vevert and Chai Mainmain, it stands out with its inviting and pleasant nose and a nuanced blend of flavors.
This rum is unique due to its limited production of just 380 bottles and its origins from a special collaboration between Neisson and Velier, highlighting a blend aged for four years in Chai Adrien.
The key flavor notes include woody, nutty, citrus, intense, floral, and vanilla, with a finish that is spicy, leathery, smoky, and includes hints of licorice and vanilla.
While this Chai Adrien expression has a pleasant nose and a refined palate, it is often considered less impressive than the Chai Vevert and Chai Mainmain expressions, which offer more complex and enjoyable tasting experiences.
The Velier 2016 Neisson Chai Adrien #5 4yo Cuvee is a beautifully crafted rum that stands out for its elegant nose and well-integrated palate. Despite a somewhat short finish, the overall experience is delightful, with nuanced flavors that will appeal to rum enthusiasts. While it may not surpass other expressions in the Neisson-Velier collaboration, it holds its own with a unique charm and is a worthy addition to any collection.
