While the finish may raise a few questions at first, this Sampan still has its charm. The nose doesn't get off to the best of starts, with a heavy, liquorish cherry supported by dried fruit, spices strongly influenced by vanilla, caramel and honey. The resulting sweetness is even slightly nauseating. On the palate, the cherry is replaced by a drier, fuller rum. The sugarcane juice stands out more, with a herbaceous, citrus, woody and spicy edge. The profile is more authentic and preserves its finishing aromas. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is perhaps the most accomplished, combining both the versatility of the Sampan and the sweetness of the finish. Spices are lifted, accompanying vegetal and woody notes, while dried fruit and cherry stroll along with citrus. A lovely expression of Vietnamese terroir that plays on the possibilities offered by aging.

The nose is light, fresh and rather fruity with herbs. If I didn’t know it was from bourbon cask, I would guess from the taste it was from a cognac cask. Taste-wise it’s more on the Agricole side compared to the cognac and port cask versions. It feels rough. Maybe it needed more aging.

I loved the nose , very fruity, fresh. Mouth is also nice but disappointing, I expected more but it certainly comes from the ABV. The final is short and is more herbal, vegetal.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
