Sampan Rhum 2020 - 5 y.o. - Cognac-Grand Cru Cask - Cellar Series (70cl, 45%)

A Cellar Series rum distilled in April 2020 from local sugar cane juice, aged five years in Vietnam's tropical climate under Antoine Poircuitte. It spent four and a half years in former Cognac casks and six months in casks from Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé wines. Cellar Series No. 001 was bottled in 2025 with 600 bottles, at 45% without colouring or chill filtration, in a 70cl bottle with a gift box; bamboo illustrations and a ship motif reflect the brand's origin. The nose combines sweet vanilla and dark berries with pronounced dried-fruit notes. The palate shows lush fruitiness with forest berries, a fine nutmeg spice and a subtle wood structure. The long finish leaves cedar wood, dry spice and gently lingering red-wine tannins.
