NEISSON XO 57,3% FULL PROOF

Introducing the distinguished Neisson XO 57.3% Full Proof, an exquisite expression of Rhum Agricole distilled at the esteemed Neisson distillery located on the picturesque Caribbean island of Martinique. With a limited production of just 1,385 bottles, this exceptional offering captures the essence of premium Martinique rum with a high-strength presentation that appeals to connoisseurs and collectors alike.

The Neisson distillery, family-owned and operated since its establishment in 1931, has garnered a reputation for producing some of the finest rums in the world. Unlike many other rums, Neisson adheres to the rigorous standards of Rhum Agricole, a designation that ensures the rum is made from freshly squeezed sugar cane juice rather than molasses. This practice imparts a fresher, more vibrant flavor profile that is distinctly characteristic of Neisson's products.

The 'XO 57.3% Full Proof' edition carries with it the legacy of Neisson's dedication to excellence and innovation. The use of a Savalle column still, a traditional distillation method known for its ability to refine and preserve the nuanced flavors of sugar cane, is central to the production of this rum. This technical choice plays a pivotal role in achieving the sumptuously smooth yet intensely flavorful profile of the Neisson XO.

Aged in the tropical climate of Martinique, this rum benefits from the island’s unique terroir which accelerates the aging process due to the high humidity and temperature. The tropical aging in barrels allows for a faster, more intense interaction between the rum and the wood, imparting rich, complex flavors and a deep color to the spirit more rapidly than in temperate climates. The result is a rum that encapsulates the essence of its environment.

At an impressive 57.3% ABV, this full-proof rum offers a robust experience that retains the delicate balance of flavors for which Neisson is renowned. The high alcohol content not only intensifies the aromas and tastes but also ensures that the character of the rum stands up remarkably well in cocktails or sipped neat.

Upon tasting, enthusiasts will recognize the signature vibrancy of Rhum Agricole, with a palette embracing notes of ripe tropical fruits, toasted nuts, and a hint of smoky wood. These are seamlessly integrated with underlying tones of vanilla and caramel, products of its meticulous aging process. The finish is long, warm, and distinctly smooth despite the high proof, leaving a memorable impression.

This rum comes presented in a 70cl bottle that mirrors the quality and artisanal spirit of Neisson. Each bottle conveys the artistry and heritage of the distillery, making it not only a delightful rum to savor but also a valued collector’s item.

The Neisson XO 57.3% Full Proof is an unadulterated celebration of the Martinican terroir and Neisson’s unwavering commitment to quality. Whether as a cherished addition to a collection or as a special treat for the senses, this rum epitomizes the best of what a true Rhum Agricole should be - authentic, flavorful, and intrinsically linked to its origins.
