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
- But: Faint nose

Review by Jakub Kula
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
