How does this rum taste?
Agricole freshness with cognac depth
If you like dry agricoles or cognac-finished spirits, this Vietnamese cask-strength release gives you that grassy freshness plus layered wood, nuts and spice in a distinctive way.
Those sensitive to higher ABV or looking for a very sweet, easygoing sipper with clear, simple fruitiness rather than drier wood and spice.
This is a very good rum. The dark chocolate flavor really pops out, as does the ginger and brine. The Raspberry is prominent as well. This is good, but the cask dominates the base distillate a little too much for me.

Vielen Dank an Oliver für das tolle Sample. Mein erster Rum aus Vietnam. Bin schwer begeistert. Hat nicht die typisch pfeffrigen Noten sondern ist eher auf der holzigen, würzigen und leicht süßen Seite. Gefällt mir wirklich sehr gut.
A real surprise!
Today the three new bottlings of the Flag Series had to face our noses and palates, this was celebrated together with DomM. For me, the South Africa is the best of the three. The one from Vietnam is rather restrained, but as a mixer with cola it develops a nice fruitiness. The Indonesian is very unusual, but that makes it interesting. Nice to have tried them all.
In the nose we are looking at an agricole style sensation with influence from the cognac cask. I get some sweetness and green apples. Not to intense overall. On the palate I like this quite a bit. Again, rather sweet with a honey like sensation. Towards the finish I get strong a sensation of backed apples and Christmas-y spices (cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg). For me the nices bottling I was able to taste out of the distillery so far.
