An unaged Vietnamese cane-juice rum from Compagnie des Indes, distilled at Quang Nam, fresh and vegetal with cut grass, pear and melon over a clean overproof frame, bottled unsweetened at 50%.
Description
This Great Whites Overproof is Vietnamese agricole-style rum bottled by Compagnie des Indes, the respected, terroir-led French house, distilled at the Quang Nam distillery from fresh sugarcane juice. Outside the French islands the term rhum agricole does not apply, so this reads as pure cane-juice rum, unaged and bottled at an overproof 50% from a 2021 vintage.
Column distillation keeps the spirit fresh and vegetal, the nose leading on sugarcane and cut grass with citrus and pear. The palate stays grassy and cane-forward with pear and a green, herbal edge, some drinkers finding earthy, truffled and rooty notes alongside honeydew and lychee, the finish clean on grass, pear and cane. It is bright and snappy rather than heavy, the kind of fresh white that comes alive with citrus. Best in a Daiquiri or Ti' Punch where the vegetal cane and stone fruit carry the drink.
