Distillerie d’Indochine Sampan Blanc Overproof

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.

Adorable gummy candy notes. Slightly animalic nose too. Really top quality cane juice rum.

Sehr rund und mild. Zu den floralen und fruchtigen Noten kommt etwas Pfeffer. Zum mixen sicherlich ideal, pur ist er mir zu ambivalent.

A beautiful unfortunately unaged rum from Vietnam. Would never have thought that tastes so good. The wonderful floral notes fit perfectly in a TiPunch or a daiquiri. Also pure he goes times on a beautiful summer evening or with ice, lime and some sugar.

#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.

Quel nez ! Canne à sucre très présente, excellent ! Bouche très aromatique sur la prune. Finale moyenne et chaleureuse

A high quality agricole rum with interesting flavours and aromas. Not as long aceton finish as other unaged agricoles

This Sampan overproof is really not bad. The alcohol could be better integrated, but the profile is interesting. The palate is full and smooth. Cane and sweetness are present.

Now we're talking! A real success. Lacks a little length to tickle older children.

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!

Soft + there is a tail of aloe vera

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 pronounced exotic, which is excellent for mixing! Very successful!

Vegetal nose: fresh cane/citrus/sake Warm attack: peppery/fruity/vegetal Long finish: iodized/spicy I'd like to take this opportunity to compare it to a sample of the Overproof version (54%) that my friend David recently sent me. The markers are obviously very close to those of the 65%. I'll just say that this Overproof version's attack on the palate is less aggressive. In fact, it's surprisingly smooth. There's a watery/diluted feel to the attack on the palate. But the aromas appear right away, with a long, lingering finish. I find this white rather well-balanced, with a preference for the 54% version, which has a more pleasant attack on the palate.
