    How does this rum taste?

    • Bold sugarcane and citrus profile
    • Impressively aromatic for ABV
    • Great for cocktails or neat

    Lively sugarcane and citrus jump from the glass in Sampan Blanc Overproof, with floral and fresh agricole character leading the way. Peppery, herbal, and subtly vegetal, it balances aromatic complexity with a soft, approachable mouthfeel for its 54% ABV. RumX tasters highlight its mixability and find it easily rivals Caribbean agricoles. Worth discovering for those seeking bold, fresh cane rums from new terroirs.

    "wow! what a stunner, incredibly intense, aromatic and complex.🔥💯current reference from Vietnam for white rums, I can't wait to see what else is coming in the future. It goes really well in a daiquiri and is also very tasty and pleasant on its own!"

    "#4563 19.01.2024 Got a set of samples from a former colleague in Sweden and today I'll give them a go. My tastebuds are still hyper sensitive, which can be both good and bad. This one was a huge surprise. I have travelled in these areas and the quality of their alcohol has gone op significantly over the years. Fruity and floral on the nose with a touch of sake which surprised me a bit as I like sake. The palate is fresh and has some anise to it. The finish is medium long and equally fresh with a light medicinal note. The empty glass has some chocolate and faint tea notes."

    "Wouldn't have thought that rum is produced at Caribbean level in Vietnam. This one is hardly distinguishable from the agricoles from the Caribbean. Citrus fruits, tropical fruits and sugar cane, only here herbs are added on the palate. Really great."

    "A remarkably rich Vietnamese rum. The nose is intensely floral, grassy and earthy, with tropical fruit, citrus and lychee in abundance. Sugar cane is also perceptible in this bouquet. On the palate, peppery and spicy notes form an ensemble that is both dry and powerful, fresh and delicious, intense and flavorful. The finish is long and intoxicating. A gustatory pleasure and a wonderful discovery of Vietnamese terroir combined with French savoir-faire."
