Rum Shark Destileria Sofa Era of Discovery Prague 2011

Members land in the low-8s and mean it — a well-made, sherried Venezuelan that leans sweet without tipping into candy. Dried fruit and cream toffee lead, with chocolate, coffee and a sour-cherry finish underneath. Several call the sherry dominant. At 50% the alcohol shows a touch more than lower-proof versions, but the fruit still comes through clean.

The community says
  • Dominant sherry
  • Dried fruit & toffee
  • But: Leans sweet

50% v porovnani s 45% mi přišla mene vonavejsi , mene vune sherry trosku vice alkoholovosti je citit, jinak zaklad stejny jak u 45% chut: zda se ze je sladci nez 45% ale v ustech to je jiny, takovy maslovejsi jemnejsi, hrozinky, karamel , dub atd.

Venezuela 

Avg Rating 7.0/10 over 320 Rums

Venezuela is South America's great rum nation, home to Diplomatico and Santa Teresa, and to one of the strictest aging laws in the world: a minimum of two years, matched only by Cuba. Built from molasses and cane honey, distilled on pot stills and batch kettles, then aged long in solera systems, Venezuelan rum is soft, rich and dessert-like, sometimes openly sweetened, and made in a country whose economy has collapsed around it.
