Rum Shark Chalong Bay Distillery Era of Discovery 2019
Fans enjoy its bold, cognac‑fruity and floral personality; critics find it vegetal, watery and alcohol-forward. Overall seen as an oddball, worthwhile for open-minded tasters, not a crowd-pleaser.
Adventurous agricole and experimental drinkers who enjoy floral, earthy, cognac‑leaning profiles and like testing “ufo” bottlings at higher ABV without added sugar.

How does this rum taste?
Weird, floral cognac‑vibes agricole twist
If you enjoy oddball cane juice rums or cognac-cask experiments, this rewards curiosity; if you want a safe, smooth pour, this will likely feel too weird and harsh.
Beginners, those sensitive to alcohol bite, or anyone wanting an easy, sweet sipper or classic Caribbean profile; critics specifically dislike its vegetal, floral and meaty tones.

Very good bottle for people who dont like standard
I don't know what potting soil tastes like, but that's how I imagine it 🤣 unfortunately not my cup of tea at all... strangely floral, perfumed and at the same time meaty and umami. Like a caraway roll with cologne water and musty potted plants. Also strangely acidic and alcoholic. Not fun at all, sorry😅
Osobitá a neotřelá vůně i chuť. Pro mě zatím nejlepší "ufo" ze série.
V chuti hodně cítit Cognac a travní tóny
