    How does this rum taste?

    The Chalong Bay Double Barrel rum, hailing from Thailand's Chalong Bay Distillery, blends sugarcane juice distillation with a potent 47% ABV. Users reported a harmonious aroma of vanilla, sugarcane, and citrus complemented by a pronounced taste of spice, wood, and pepper. Aged in French oak and Armagnac casks, it offers a unique, albeit dry and astringent, profile that resonates with both fruitiness and spiciness. While some find its bouquet appealing and complex, others note its overly woody and bitter finish. This rum appeals particularly to those appreciating nuanced cask influences and the emerging Asian rum market's creativity.

    Nase Holz und Agricole, schön, vielversprechend; Zunge ähnlich, leichte Süße, ordentlich Fasseinfluss, bissel Honig, leicht trocken, schöner Abgang

    A delicate, balanced, greedy and complex rum. One finds well the markers of Chalong Bay. Very pleasant

    German Rum Festival 2023 #immernochkeinprofi Karamell in Nase und Geschmack werden von tiefer liegenden komplexen Tönen der Fässer (Franz. Eiche und Armagnac) unterstrichen. Hier kommen Kokos und reife Früchte dazu. Sehr freundlicher und transparenter Destillateur am Stand.

    A young Thai rum with plenty of flavor and deliciousness. The nose combines the floral and vegetal flavors of sugarcane with exotic fruits (lychee) and citrus fruits for a very round, smooth whole. Mild spices add a touch of complexity. The attack on the palate is more lively, carried by lots of spice, notes of young wood and some empyreumatic flavors that have had a certain impact on the profile despite the slight ageing. Floral notes and exotic fruits return in force, with a few mineral and caramelized notes to complement. Overall, the wine is well realized and the alcohol well integrated. On the finish, the fruit is more subdued, replaced by menthol, floral, herbal and spicy notes. Good length. A very pleasant rum with a varied profile, confirming Asia's rise to prominence in the rum market.
