Neisson Le Rhum par Neisson Blanc (52.5%)

This is a white agricole rum from the Neisson distillery in Carbet, on the north-west coast of Martinique. It is made from freshly pressed pure sugar cane juice to the AOC Martinique specification, distilled in a Creole column and gradually reduced to 52.5% abv. It is intended as an introduction to the house style, with the focus on purity of fruit. The nose offers fresh cane, citrus, exotic fruit and white flowers. The palate is lively and balanced, with green freshness, lime, white pepper and sugar cane. The finish is long, clean and lightly spiced. It works neat or in a ti-punch.
