RHUM NEISSON - 12 years - Vintage 2005 - 70 years Velier - 51,3%
Neisson was born during the inter-war years in 1931 when the brothers Adrien and Hildebert Pamphile, said Jean Neisson, bought the house La Thieulbert then provided with 20 ha of plantations. It is located in the north-west of the island, not far from Saint-Pierre, at the foot of the Pelée mountain and the older brother Adrien then undertakes to set up a small distillery while his younger brother Jean Neisson finishes his studies at Paris. While the eldest produces the rums in Martinique, the cadet sets up an import-export company following his studies and then begins to market rums in Paris. However, he is passionate about production and will make his years of studies profitable by ordering a modified Savalle column for the distillery according to his instructions to improve the quality of his rums.
Today, it is still the family Neisson who is at the head of the family distillery (one of the last in Martinique) and the house continues to provide exclusively canes of its own 40 hectares of canes.
This Neisson 12 years of the Vintage 2005 was bottled during the 70 years of the House Velier. This rum was harvested and distilled in 2005 before being bottled to its natural degree in 2017, at 51.3%. At first glance, it is round and warm before evolving to more exotic and aerial notes.
