Nase Holz und Agricole, schön, vielversprechend; Zunge ähnlich, leichte Süße, ordentlich Fasseinfluss, bissel Honig, leicht trocken, schöner Abgang
Review by JB
A delicate, balanced, greedy and complex rum. One finds well the markers of Chalong Bay. Very pleasant
Review by Christina L.
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.
Review by TheRhumhoe
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.

Schönes herstellungsverfahren und toller rum
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probiert auf dem 12 GRF in Berlin: Für die kurze Lagerung erstaunlich viel Einfluss des Fasses (Virgin Oak). Mit mehr Prozent und noch älter auf jeden Fall Potential vorhanden
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Interesting juice. Soft and mild and buttery rum. It lacks depth but its well made. Wood influence is subtle. Definitely different from most rums.
Review by Matthieu Leibbrandt
A very nice nose, particular and unusual note
Review by Timo Groeger
Trifft jetzt irgendwie nicht do ganz meinen Geschmack, ist aber ansonsten ganz okay. Kaum definierbare Nase, für mich hier Vanille und tropischen Früchten. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch Holz und Gewürze hinzu. Ansonsten recht alkoholisch. Durchschnitt, mehr nicht.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really nice nose - but taste unfortunately really very woody, bitter sour and extremely dry and furry astringent ... Here, the otherwise so beautiful fruity spicy Chalong bay rum unfortunately has no chance against Armagnac cask and Virgin oak to arrive... Too bad! Had I hoped for more of.
