Chalong Bay Distillery Collection Antipodes 2020
Most enjoy its wild, floral-agricole profile and honeyed cane fruit. Critics find it young, alcohol-forward and a bit one-dimensional. Consensus: a quirky, promising Thai cane-juice rum, better for explorers than beginners.
Curious explorers and agricole/clairein fans who enjoy high-ABV, vegetal, floral and slightly fermented cane-juice profiles and don’t mind a younger, rawer edge, especially for sipping slowly or mixing characterful Ti’ Punch–style drinks.

Wild Thai agricole-style funk bomb

Newcomers, anyone sensitive to high ABV or sharp alcohol, and drinkers who dislike green, funky, mezcal/grogue-like notes or expect smooth, sweet, long-aged sipping rum.

Belle couleur paille claire, nez extrêmement gourmand sur le sucre, on dirait un ti’punch avec un rhum vieux ! Bouche assez forte en alcool mais très gourmande sur le miel. Finale sur le sucre !
Ich mag Chalong Bay irgendwie. Vor Jahren im Urlaub den ersten Rum unter dem Namen entdeckt und seitdem mit Interesse die Entwicklung weiterverfolgt. Nette Jungs, tolles Projekt (z.B. mit der mobilen Zuckersaftpresse um bei den Kleinbauern direkt auf dem Feld das Zuckerrohr zu pressen). Sehr eigenes florales Profil. Nicht die höchste Liga, aber lecker, pur und als Mix-Rum.
Et bien, belle surprise ! Joli épicé de la canne fraîche sauce poivrée. Et derrière un bourbon rond et vanillé pour un bva invisible ! Top.
Was für ein Biest! Kraftvoll dringt er schon in die Nase, wenn er noch weit entfernt auf dem Tisch steht. Pflanzlich, Kräuter, frisch gepresstes Zuckerrohr und auch ein Hauch von Bourbon. Alkohol ist präsent, aber im Rahmen. Am Gaumen dann: ALARM! Hier macht sich der Alkohol richtig bemerkbar, dazu frische, fast schon scharfe pflanzliche Noten. Nicht Affe ungeübte Zungen und wohl auch nur ein Ausblick auf das, was man aus dem Hause Chalong Bay in Zukunft noch erwarten könnte. Für mich irgendwo zwischen Clairin, jungen Jamaikanern und umgelagerten Agricoles. Spannend, mit ein paar Jahren mehr auf dem Buckel durchaus interessant!
