The Velier 2016 Neisson Chai Vevert #2 4yo is an intriguing rum, born from the unique collaboration between Neisson, one of the premier distilleries in the agricole rum world, and Velier, a distinguished name in the spirits industry. Distilled in 2016 at the famed Neisson distillery in Martinique using a Column Still from sugarcane juice, this rum was bottled in 2020 at a robust 56.8% ABV. With only 380 bottles available, this limited edition is a treasure for rum aficionados. Aged for four years in a chai with 82% humidity at 25.5°F, this rum is part of the Neisson 2016 series, showcasing three different four-year-old rums each aged in different conditions. The Chai Vevert edition, with its excellent alcohol integration, offers a tantalizing journey through its diverse flavor profile. The aroma is a delightful blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, and spice, underpinned by a nutty sweetness. On the palate, it reveals a medley of tropical fruits, creamy woodiness, and an intriguing mix of spice and herbal notes. The finish is long and complex, featuring tropical fruits, leather, ginger, cocoa, and caramelized citrus tones. Though opinions vary, many find this rum's flavor profile engaging and well-balanced, even if its nose is less expressive compared to its sibling editions. The Chai Vevert edition stands out with its pleasant palate and interesting flavors, making it a noteworthy addition to any rum collection.
