Neisson Rhum L'Esprit (1L, 70%)

Neisson Rhum L'Esprit is an unaged white rhum agricole from Distillerie Neisson in Le Carbet, Martinique, bottled undiluted at 70% ABV. Created for the distillery's 70th anniversary and released annually, it comes directly off the house's specially adjusted Savalle column with no reduction or dilution. It is made from Thieubert estate blue cane and crystalline cane, then rested six months in stainless steel before bottling. The producer describes it as clear and crystalline, with an intensely floral, citrus nose, a round, sweet, rich and full palate despite the strength, and a very long finish dominated by freshly harvested sugar cane.
