Rum Journal: The Best Rums of 2019

Rhum Agricole of the Year 2019: Rhum Neisson Vintage 2003 Cuvee Sacha, Martinique For lovers of Rhum Agricole, Martinique’s Rhum Neisson holds a special place in their hearts. The boutique distillery on the shores of Le Carbet has long produced some of the most artisanal, rarefied, complex and out-of-this-world agricole expressions, and continues to set the standard for agricole in general, both its white and aged expressions. Indeed, it was even the first rum company to produce certified organic rum. And master distiller Gregory Vernant’s newest cuvee, the Sacha, named after his son, is a masterwork, a 2003 vintage that’s a full-proof, single-cask stunner.
