Neisson Description
"Eleve Sous Bois" literally means "raised under wood", Élevé Sous Bois is roughly the equivalent of Reposado Tequila for Rhum Agricole. The spirit has been "rested" in wood for a brief time, so that the wood has imparted flavor without totally transforming the spirit. The raw character of the distillate is still allowed to shine through. Neisson's "Élevé" is rested for 18 months in 20,000 liter casks, which softens the rum and only slightly imparts the character of American and French oak.
Tasting Note: The result is hints of orange citrus, vanilla, caramel, nutmeg, and, while still retaining a bit of those grassy/vegetal notes.
