A cask strength Thai agricole from Chalong Bay distilled from fresh sugar cane juice, intensely vegetal and floral with overripe tropical fruit and honey, a raw, distinctive cane juice rum bottled at 62.1%.
Description
Chalong Bay Distillery Collection Antipodes 2020 is a Thai rum distilled from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses, which puts it firmly in the agricole style. Chalong Bay built its reputation on this cane juice approach, and this cask strength release shows the house character at full intensity.
Distilled on column still from fresh cane and given a short period in ex-bourbon oak, it leads with vegetal, herbal and floral notes alongside grassy sugarcane and overripe tropical fruit, all wrapped in honeyed sweetness. The finish runs fermented, herbal and dry with a touch of barrel. Bottled at 62.1% with no added sugar, it is raw and powerful, a Thailand meets agricole profile rather than an easy sipper. One for drinkers who enjoy young agricoles, clairin and funky cane juice spirits, whether in careful neat pours or bold cocktails.
