SAMPAN Classic White Rhum (70cl, 65%)

A white agricole rum from Vietnam, made from fresh sugar cane juice. It is distilled in a copper column and slowly reduced to drinking strength, with no chill filtration and no colouring. Batch 003 was distilled in March 2020 and bottled in November 2020; the fresh juice fermented for 96 hours in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The cane is cut by hand and pressed within 24 hours, and the rum remains unfiltered. It comes in a 70cl bottle with gift packaging. On the nose, fresh sugar cane is prominent with hints of tropical fruit. On the palate it is sweet and powerful, and the finish is long and warm, with sweetness and mild spice remaining.
