How does this rum taste?
The Chalong Bay Distillery's "Collection Antipodes" from Thailand is a limited release rum distilled from sugar cane juice using a column still in 2020. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 62.1%, this rum delivers a vibrant array of vegetal, sugarcane, and honey notes, complemented by citrus undertones. Aged for 2 years and 8 months, its aroma and palate intrigue with hints reminiscent of tropical fruits, spices, and herbal touches, but its intense alcoholic presence divides opinion. This distillation, while exhibiting youthful exuberance and potential, hints at further development with extended maturation. With only 558 bottles available, this limited-edition rum offers a unique profile that engages adventurous palates.

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!
