Rum in Thailand


Recommended Posts

I'm a rum & coke guy....In Big C & Lotus there's a white rum marketed as Uncle Tom.... It's in a square shaped bottle....

I find it smooth, with a good taste....

They market 3 products, I just look for the square bottle with a red R label....It's 279B, so an easy taste test to see if it agrees with you.....

Sangsom is a decent rum, only don't get fooled by buying a liter bottle, since it cost more per volume than a 70 cl bottle.

 

70 cl is 286 baht while 1 liter is 430 baht

395 baht for 1 Litre at 7/11

Hong Thong is also good enough, and a bit cheaper than SangSom.

This was one of the strangest posts I have seen.... Hong Thong??? Really, smell like bad moonshine..... Have you tried it really???

Tastes slightly sweeter than SangSom.

I prefer it, good for making fake Bailey's.

Hong Thong is not rum.

It is blended spirits which in Thailand would be rice based, with flavour added.

Sangsom is a fairly light rum, as stated made from molasses which in turn is a product resulting 

from the process of refining sugar.

It is not your real dark rum colour but drinks OK with a mixer.

Bundaberg  (an Australian rum) is also not very dark but a good distinctive taste.

All spirits when distilled have no colour. They are all clear. Colouring can be from used barrels imparting colour over time as in real scotch.

I suspect the Sangsom colour is added as barrel time would be limited & also a

distinctive taste of it's own

When the owner of the distillery says it is made with molasses, I tend to believe him.

Smooth and easy drinking, Hong Thong is a golden spirit made from molasses at the renowned Bangyikhan Distillery near Bangkok. The name 'Hong Thong' translates into 'Golden Phoenix'.
