„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.“

„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.“

„Al naso è frizzante e inebriante, con note di litchi, mais inscatolato, maturati di frutti tropicali, agrumi in sottofondo con menta e alcool. Al palato è dolce (marzapane), agrumato(lime) e pepato, in sottofondo frutti tropicali, litchi e alcool/acquavite d'uva. Sul finale ,abbastanza persistente, appare una gustevole dolcezza e la liquirizia con qualche dattero che riscalda piacevolmente la gola. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno leggero. Ha personalità, ma non mi entusiasma. In miscelazione è sicuramente valido“

„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.“
