Rum Shark Destileria Sofa Era of Discovery (Prague 50) 2009

Ratings land in a friendly middle here — most tasters call it a "smooth sipper" with fruit, wood and chocolate, while a couple find the nose faint and the palate more prickly than promised. This is a 15-year Venezuelan molasses rum at 50%: caramel, raisin, cocoa and citrus, with an elegant, unsweetened body. A few even called it their rum of the year for the money.

The community says
  • Smooth and elegant
  • Fruit and chocolate
  • Keep in mind: Faint nose

I have to rate it at least as good as the 13-year-old version at 50%, a very good rum, I'd say even a bit better than the 13-year-old which I liked a lot and still have saved for worse times 😉 Aroma: dates, chocolate, citrus, a hint of vanilla, a touch of technical stuff I can't identify. Taste: citrus, caramel, chocolate.

#6908 11.06.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after a fast 22.5 km hike. Listening to some cool tracks by Mad Maxx and Sonic Species on Spotify. A pretty decent rum in my mind and the price tag is good. Sweet profile with honey, floral, fruits, wood, tannins, caramel and light chocolate.

7.8/10

it was a pleasure to try it, u know the design looks like a prety big mess with its shark name and ufo landing on vltava river and its obvious there were not hugh money invested in the box and labels, but! i would say the rum itself is really nice and fruity and really really tasty. I would say that money saved on the box&labels were used the best possible way and it was getting the right liquid for sure. for that purchase price, i would say this is the rum of the year for me. i am going to get another bottle and looking forward to the next year cause i heard that ufo is going to land on the bridge in Blava, Slovakia. you should definitly get a bottle of this rum to open with ure friends and enjoy ufo or shark or whatever coming to your home
