A Vietnamese cane-juice rhum in a cognac cask isn't something you see every day, and that's most of the draw here. It drinks clean and herbal — flowers, a little fruit, vanilla and soft oak from the barrel, with citrus underneath. At 55.5% the alcohol stays surprisingly well behaved. One reviewer called it "quite clean agricole rhum, not thrilling but clean," and that sums up the split: lovely to drink, but it doesn't do much extra for the higher proof.

How does Distillerie d'Indochine Sampan Cellar Series (Cognac Cask) 2018 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Clean, herbal agricole with soft cognac-cask oak Well-liked as a smooth, easy-drinking agricole with strong value for the age — most find it very good rather than a top-shelf highlight. Nobody calls it exciting.

Feedback from the Dugas Salon. Vanilla, apples, almonds... pastry notes to wish for, a beautiful aromatic power, fruits, and a slight fatty return that reminded me of white chocolate. It's really very good!

It's been sitting for a long time. Now it's the third Sampan, but with more abv and it's immediately noticeable on the aroma. The herbal side predominates, flowers, some fruit and something technical. On the palate it pretty much follows the nose. Finish too. It's nice and drinkable but doesn't offer anything extra those extra volts.

Amazing stuff for the price and age!
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2018, in a cognac cask. With 8.0 out of 10 it's a very good bottle, though not top of my list.
