Flag Series - Vietnam Single Cask Rum 2018 700ml

Flag Series Vietnam 2018 is a remarkable expression of pure cane juice rum that beautifully merges French Caribbean distilling traditions with the unique environment of Vietnam. Produced in the Quang Nam province, this highly limited release relies entirely on an endemic, local variety of sugarcane. Dedicated farmers carefully grow and harvest the cane by hand to ensure optimal juice concentration and rich natural flavors.

Unlike mass produced spirits that use heavy industrial methods, this exceptional rum focuses on sustainable practices and pure ingredients. After a natural fermentation process, the pure cane juice is carefully distilled in a traditional copper Armagnac column still. The liquid then rests for six full years in a single ex Cognac cask. Because it ages entirely in the tropical heat of Vietnam, the rum develops incredible depth and complexity in a relatively short amount of time.

Bottled exactly at a cask strength of 55.5 percent alcohol, this pure spirit is completely free of added colors, sugars, or filtration. In the glass, it reveals a refined nose packed with precious wood, ripe mango, and sweet apricot, layered with subtle hints of warm cumin and spicy incense. The palate is both lively and creamy. Bright zests of pink grapefruit and orange give way to smooth vanilla, apricot jam, and a touch of powdered ginger. The finish is remarkably long and generous, leaving lasting impressions of brioche, toasted rice cake, and dark cocoa.

Limited to an incredibly rare 213 bottles, this unadulterated spirit is a true collectible. Serve this bold, cask strength rum neat to fully appreciate its uncompromising craftsmanship and vibrant tropical character.
