Velier Neisson Tatanka Blanc

When Velier turns its attention to Martinique, it does so with characteristically high standards, and this Neisson Tatanka Blanc pairs the most prestigious name in collectible rum with one of the island's finest small family distilleries. It is rhum agricole from fresh pressed sugarcane juice, column distilled and bottled unsweetened at 50%, an unaged blanc that puts pure cane character front and centre.

The nose is richer and more layered than many blancs, with custard, herbal notes, a buttery quality and a floral violet lift, while the palate brings cream, more butter and a clear sugarcane backbone. The finish is expressive, trailing brown sugar, herbs, violet and orange peel, with a natural sweetness that owes nothing to additives. This is a refined, characterful white agricole that rewards neat sipping as much as it shines in a Ti Punch. The Velier selection and the Neisson pedigree show in its depth, making it a standout blanc for drinkers who take their cane juice rhum seriously.
