Treczoks, to science in A sixth basic taste may join sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami on the tongue

So, basically, ammonium chloride tastes sour if I got this right. I would not classify this in the same league as sweet, sour, salt, bitter, and umami, as it is not a separate flavor, just a new molecule that bonds.

Compare this to the thousands of different molecules considered “bitter”.
