THE SPIRIT OF THAILAND

The essence of the land, combined with local wisdom, results in the creation of the fine 35-degree liquor that captures the culture and way of life of Siam. This proud heritage deserves to be passed on so that the legend of Spirit of Thailand continues to be appreciated by both Thais and visitors. Come experience the true flavors of the Kingdom through Thai rum.

The Origin of Mekhong

In 1941, during the era of Field Marshal Por Pibulsongkram, there was a call for the reclamation of lands on the right banks of the Mekhong River, which encompassed four provinces, from the French. This culminated in the Indochina War. Luang Wichitwathakan, Director-General of the Fine Arts Department at the time, composed a famous patriotic song, “Kam Khong”, with the purpose of letting locals in the four provinces on both banks of the river know that they were united in spirit as Thais. The song became very popular, and it boosted nationalistic sentiment and morale. Herein lies the origin of the name chosen by the Excise Department that same year for a local spirit, “Mekhong,” specially brewed to replace whiskey imports from abroad.

Secret behind its uniqueness

From premium raw ingredients to meticulous processes, the creation of the distinct 35-degree Thai rum begins with high quality sugar cane. It undergoes fermentation with red yeast and local sticky rice – the secret to its unique flavor and aroma. Combined with a special yeast and a leavening agent comprised of a Thai herbal blend, the processes yield a special recipe that has been passed down from one generation of master blenders to the next.

Taste Note

Immerse in the essence of true Thai rum. Savor the smooth and subtle flavors that unfold with each sip. Relish the aftertaste of the bold spirit that lingers long after. Enjoy the light fragrance of Thai herbs, which further draws you into the essence of being Thai. Each full-flavored drop abounds with quality – and the unique Thai identity that will forever be embodied in the rich, amber liquid, guaranteed by the Chef in America 2009 - Gold Medal Beverage Winner award.

Perfect for pairing

Thai cuisine is distinctive in its bold and delicate qualities derived from iconic ingredients. The pairing of cocktails and Thai dishes must reflect the harmony of flavors. With its herbal base and production process derived from the same local wisdom, Mekhong is iconic Thai rum widely chosen as an ingredient in the creation of various cocktails. The result is a Thai cocktail that beautifully harmonized with the complexities and subtleties of Thai cuisine.
