Great lighter sweet rum with floral and honey flavours and wood backgroud notes.
Mekhong the Spirit of Thailand
About this bottle
Mekhong the spirit of Thailand is named for the Mekong River which borders Laos. Launched in 1941, it was the first domestically-produced spirit of Thailand and the only one until the early 1980's. Known in Thailand as a whiskey, it can best be described as a flavored rum, produced from 95% sugar cane/molasses and 5% rice. Labeled as a neutral spirit (not technically a rum) from a base of cane and rice with herbs, spices and caramel added. This is unaged and the gold color is strictly from the added caramel. 35% ABV.
