Chalong Bay Distillery Chalong Bay Wild Fermentation / High Proof
Sipped neat it opens floral and fresh — sugarcane juice, litchi, lime and a green, grassy edge, with a saline, almost iodine finish that a few tasters called the best part. The wild fermentation adds a fruity, faintly funky twist to the agricole backbone. One reviewer clocked "some Jamaican hints," though the palate turns out lighter and drier than the nose promises.
The community says- Floral, fresh nose
- Litchi and sugarcane
- Light, soft palate

How does Chalong Bay Distillery Chalong Bay Wild Fermentation / High Proof taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Floral, salty Thai agricole, dry finish Most see an unusual, very floral Thai agricole with a saline, dry finish. A few felt the palate runs too light and soft to match the big, complex nose.

Review by Chris Lewis
My first tasting at the GRF 12, and what a banger. Funky pear on the palate. Long finish. This is right up there with my favorite agricoles. Reminds me of Paranubes. Fascinating rum.
Review by Benoit Mahe
This white rum is really quite good! Very floral, with a pleasant texture.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Thai rum with natural fermentation that offers a lot for its price. Floral and vegetal notes are abundant, with notably eucalyptus and sugar cane that give a lot of freshness. Exotic fruits and citrus fruits are also present, accompanied by ginger for a spicy touch, giving a dry, balanced and greedy whole. The attack in mouth prolongs the pleasure on this fruity, floral, vegetable and spicy frame, offering a natural rum, very fresh and easy to access. The finish is quite long and continues on saline notes almost iodized. A very nice example of the potential of Thailand with French know-how for the years to come.
Review by Righrum
A nice unusual sugarcane rum, with some Jamaican hints. The wild fermentation might be a real thing here, giving a more fruity and floral profile. Drink side, it is surprisingly dry and salty, despite being full of fruity and floral notes
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 12 GRF in Berlin: For me, this is the best rum in the range. Not an ester bomb like Jamaica, but an exciting and unique character!
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Très joli blanc, j’adore l’évolution progressive d’un nez florale et frais, fruité, à une bouche plus complexe qui évolue beaucoup pour finir sur ses notes cendrées de tabac froid, un véritable voyage dans le verre!

#4161 I bought a lot of samples at the GRF and it'll take me a while to get through 😊 This rum is fresh and fruity with a warm and gentle palate at the same time. It's dry and has very nice floral notes.
Review by Adrien B
Agricole gras, plutôt sympa, très porté sur la canne, végétal.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose very beguilingly intense, typical Agricole, but here with a touch of fruitiness. The palate, unfortunately, can not quite keep up. It is too light and soft
Review by Gregor
Dürfte ihn auf dem german rum festival verkosten. Schmeckt Wie ein ziemlich intensiver Agricole auf jeden Fall spannend was da aus der destille kommt. Bin gespannt was da noch folgt sollte man auf jeden Fall mal probieren
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wacky and very complex nose!ginger tea with kaffir lime leaves, papaya, lychee, sesame, red pepper, licorice and eucalyptus. very fresh and slight hints of polish. taste then simultaneously salty, sweet and fresh-sour after banana, licorice, salty peanut butter, sesame,coconuts, lime and papaya. all very concentrated and tasty and harmonious! in the daiquiri it is clearly more acidic, very fresh, the "polish" comes through a little more, but so quite harmonious as the 40er he is in the daiquiri then not quite. pure it is much more exciting.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Not a big fan but has the merit of having a lot of aromas on the nose and palate. Cane, lychee and a salty edge.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è molto delicato con sentori di frutti tropicali, fiori e canna da zucchero, poco dopo anche una timida nota d'aceto e agrumi. Al palato è fresco, delicato e floreale, note di anice ed eucaliptus, con un'impronta vellutata di frutta(banana, cocco, litchi, agrumi) e mandorle, nel finale anche un po' di castagne e vegetale(carciofi) con leggere note pepate e medicinali(sapide/acide). Un prodotto con una consistenza ed un profilo unici, ma molto leggero e dal finale quasi assente. Interessante. Il voto oscilla tra i 6.6 e i 7.5
