The world of fine spirits welcomes a truly exceptional release with the Neisson 49% Mizunara - 90th Anniversary edition. This special edition rum celebrates the remarkable milestone of Neisson’s 90 years of distilling excellence. Crafted on the picturesque Caribbean island of Martinique, this rum embodies the culmination of nearly a century of passion and tradition in the world of artisan rum-making.
The Neisson distillery, famed for its dedication to quality and innovation, continues to stand out amongst its peers in Martinique, a region widely respected for its superior rum production. Neisson’s commitment to maintaining a completely autonomous and family-owned operation allows them to control every aspect of the production, ensuring that each bottle meets their high standards of excellence.
The rum featured in the Neisson 49% Mizunara - 90th Anniversary edition is made from pure cane juice, a critical base that distinguishes Martinique’s AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) rums from others. This base lends the spirit a rich and vibrant flavor profile that is both unique and deeply rooted in the terroir of the region. The rum is distilled in a traditional Savalle still, which is renowned for its ability to enhance the nuanced flavors of the cane, offering a delicate yet complex character to the spirit.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this special edition rum is its aging process. Aged under the island’s tropical climate, the rum undergoes an accelerated maturation thanks to the intense heat and humidity. This environment adds depth and accelerates the interaction between the rum and the cask, imbuing the spirit with a rich amalgamation of flavors much quicker than in more temperate climates.
The choice of Mizunara wood casks for maturation marks a distinctive feature of this anniversary edition. Mizunara, a rare type of oak from Japan, is celebrated for its contribution of smooth, spicy, and incense-like flavors to distilled spirits. The use of Mizunara casks complements the intrinsic qualities of the rum with elegant notes of sandalwood, coconut, spice, and a touch of tropical fruitiness, resulting in a complex and multi-layered taste profile.
The rum is bottled at a robust 49% alcohol by volume, providing the perfect strength to encapsulate all its aromatic and flavor complexities without overpowering the subtle nuances imparted by both the cane juice base and the Mizunara oak. Presented in a 70 cl bottle, this release is not just a beverage but a collector’s item and a perfect gift for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of fine rums.
In summary, the Neisson 49% Mizunara - 90th Anniversary is a testament to the skill and heritage of Neisson as a distillery. Celebrating nine decades of craftsmanship, this offering is not merely about sipping a glass of rum; it's an experience of savoring a piece of Martinique's rich distilling history, accented exquisitely by the Luxurious touch of Japanese Mizunara oak.
Whether you’re a long-time rum lover or a newcomer to the spirit, this special edition from Neisson offers a unique opportunity to explore a rare and exquisite expression that perfectly embodies the intersection of Caribbean tradition and Asian influence through its exceptional aging process. With each sip, the Neisson 49% Mizunara - 90th Anniversary edition promises a journey through a landscape of lush flavors and aromatic decadence, making it a truly remarkable addition to any collection.
