Neisson Agricole Blanc

 
 

Objective Notes
Very Smooth (on the RnD scale of Harsh-Smooth-Very Smooth-Extremely Smooth)


Aromas of clean vegetal cane, not quite sugary, but off-dry, surprisingly the overproof alcohol doesn’t sting, slightly buttery, almond.  The initial taste mirrors the aromas, with slightly sweet cane falovrs most prominent, followed by some white pepper, a hint of buttery praline, all nicely balanced.  The body is thin and light (as most overproofs are) but possessing some depth, leading quickly to a finish that is briefly dry, then transitions to an ending with some residual simple sweetness.


Anecdotal Notes
Dave – Neisson Agricole Blanc certainly delicate enough to sip by itself, but that’s not what it’s made for.  Try it in a ‘Ti Punch on a hot summer day.  Sip in moderation and feels the cares melt away.  There’a reason some call this simple but strong cocktail Martinique’s national drink.


Taster’s Opinion
Dave – The Neisson company continually impresses with their line of excellent, yet reasonably priced spirits.  Their Agricole Blanc packs a complexity and surprising number of delicate flavors into a rhum that other simply produce for burying in a fruity drink.
