elcaro Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 I have a contact with the owners of the distillery. I will have more info soon. If anyone knows a 7-11 in chiang rai that still sells it, let me know and I will buy up their stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still plenty up here in the mum & pop shops, have not checked at 7/11. An alternative is Meridian, a bit cheaper but still drinkable. How is that for hangover. Regency I have 0 headaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds familiar, from when good old Mekong should be upgraded from cheap Thai rum to a more high-end brand; same product, higher price = same-same but different...????

hugocnx Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Regents are OUT. demturds are IN. Scheiss, the demturds were/are the regents. Never liked Regency anyways, it's the Bourbon style under the Cognacs. Edited November 28, 2019 by hugocnx Cannot use the word libturds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcaro Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Apparently there is an issue with stock. Lawyer is unable to confirm or dismiss the issue. Minimum price found for small bottle is 300thb and 580 for big bottle. I am going to hammer some other drinks and see how they interact with my system Starting with meridian Edited November 30, 2019 by elcaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 According to my alcohol wholesaler the dramatic price rise stopped it dead in its tracks and many wholesalers now refuse to stock it and promote Meridian instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Meridian is made from pineapples. Pineapples!!! https://meridianbrandy.com/brandy/ FINE SELECTION OF EXCEPTIONAL INGREDIENTS Produced from Pattawia pineapples grown in Prachuap Kiri Khan Province—Thailand’s most famous pineapple-growing region—MERIDIAN V.S.O.P. stands proudly as one of the finest pineapple brandy’s in the world. Pattawia pineapples are juicy, sweet, and slightly sour, with golden flesh and a pleasant aroma. MERIDIAN V.S.O.P. combines these succulent Pattawia pineapples with top-quality grapes to create an exceptionally complex flavor.

Usually convenience store (all 8 in walking distance) is out of stock for a couple weeks at a time, when they do get it some people buy 6 bottles at a time so they are soon out of stock again. The price at 7/11 is 243 up from 240; liquor store is up from 280 to 320 a bottle (pint), they do have some ordinarily. I hardly drink it but the GF does; I think mostly so she gets face from not drinking Som Sang. But she enjoys Som Sang a couple days after the Regency is gone.

ricklev Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Samgsom tastes nothing Regency. One is a rum and one is a brandy. They are completely different kinds of spirits. I don't get the comparison? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Sister of GF requested some Regency be brought to isaan. Is meridian an equal. I'm not a brandy fan. I'm wondering what would be better than Regency? I'm more a Kentucky bourbon guy. No scotch for me. Yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcaro Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have switched to meridian. It is a bit harsher, especially on the nose. But only 424thb instead of 690thb so significant difference in price. If I would drink less I would buy regency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 7-11 restricts sales to 1 bottle. I'm wondering if maybe Regency is used on one of those drug concoction drinks the delinquent kids like to mix up? Like Regency, light bulb powder, cough syrup and Xanax......
