Distillerie d'Indochine Sampan Blanc Overproof
One taster called it "really top quality cane juice rum," and that captures it: this Vietnamese white drinks a lot like a Caribbean agricole. Fresh sugarcane, citrus, floral and lychee notes up top, then pepper and herbs on the palate. A few reviewers note the 54% isn't fully integrated and the finish thins out, but most find it fresh and easy to like.
The community says- Fresh cane juice
- Floral and citrus
- But: Finish thins out

How does Distillerie d'Indochine Sampan Blanc Overproof taste?
Aggregated from 72 community reviews.
Fresh, floral agricole-style white from Vietnam Most agree it's a fresh, floral cane-juice white that shines in a Ti' Punch or daiquiri. A few find the palate a touch thin or the alcohol not fully tucked in.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4563 19.01.2024 Got a set of samples from a former colleague in Sweden and today I'll give them a go. My tastebuds are still hyper sensitive, which can be both good and bad. This one was a huge surprise. I have travelled in these areas and the quality of their alcohol has gone op significantly over the years. Fruity and floral on the nose with a touch of sake which surprised me a bit as I like sake. The palate is fresh and has some anise to it. The finish is medium long and equally fresh with a light medicinal note. The empty glass has some chocolate and faint tea notes.

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.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is crisp and heady, with notes of lychee, canned corn, ripe tropical fruits, citrus in the background with mint and alcohol. The palate is sweet (marzipan), citrusy(lime) and peppery, with tropical fruits, lychee and alcohol/grape brandy in the background. On the finish ,quite persistent, there appears a tasty sweetness and licorice with some dates pleasantly warming the throat. In the empty glass light wood. It has personality but does not excite me. In blending it is definitely worthwhile
Review by TheRhumhoe
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.

"Nez au top, un peu déçu en bouche ça s’évapore vite En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Canne à sucre, Terreux En bouche : Canne à sucre, Salé La finale plutot orientee vers : Végétal"
Review by Thomas
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.
Review by Christoph
Sehr rund und mild. Zu den floralen und fruchtigen Noten kommt etwas Pfeffer. Zum mixen sicherlich ideal, pur ist er mir zu ambivalent.
Review by oliver
A high quality agricole rum with interesting flavours and aromas. Not as long aceton finish as other unaged agricoles
Review by Timo Groeger
Wouldn't have thought that rum is produced at Caribbean level in Vietnam. This one is hardly distinguishable from the agricoles from the Caribbean. Citrus fruits, tropical fruits and sugar cane, only here herbs are added on the palate. Really great.
Review by Han
“Agricole Blanc”-artig aus Vietnam. Schmeckt schärfer und weniger süß als der Geruch vermuten lässt.
Review by Eric Frechin
J ai bien aimé,simple et efficace. Il me rappelle un canne rouge Longueteau. Le nez est très flatteur , doux avec la framboise et canne qui prédomine. En bouche c est plus vif avec un léger poivre, mais toujours avec des marqueurs du nez.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Now we're talking! A real success. Lacks a little length to tickle older children.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow! what a stunner, incredibly intense, aromatic and complex.🔥💯current reference from Vietnam for white rums, I can't wait to see what else is coming in the future. It goes really well in a daiquiri and is also very tasty and pleasant on its own!
Review by Thunderbird
A pronounced exotic, which is excellent for mixing! Very successful!
Review by Benoit Mahe
This Sampan overproof is really not bad. The alcohol could be better integrated, but the profile is interesting. The palate is full and smooth. Cane and sweetness are present.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Soft + there is a tail of aloe vera

Pas dans les meilleurs blanc.
Review by Mc Pirate
Quel nez ! Canne à sucre très présente, excellent ! Bouche très aromatique sur la prune. Finale moyenne et chaleureuse
Review by m8375e
Adorable gummy candy notes. Slightly animalic nose too. Really top quality cane juice rum.
