A New, Cheap And Excellent Thai Rum On Market Now

[jaideeguy]

I've always been a fan of rums and there are a few in Asia.....the premium aged Tanduay rums of the Philippines is world class and the old Thai 'Maekong' wiskey, shich is actually a rum to my taste was decent, but stopped producing.

There is a new Thai Rum on the market now that is quite good.....called 'Uncle Tom R'. It's a clear rum, which I normally don't like, but it's a full bodied, smooth rum with taste and aroma of molasses and according to the label made from sugar cane. The same company makes an Uncle tom V and G, which I wouldn't recomend. Best of all it's priced at 219thb per bottle.

So far, it's only available in Tesco and Big C. Check it out if you like rum.

I wonder how they are getting on with exporting this product to the US.... ....one suspects it will be as the export of "Darkie" toothpaste a few years back...

Not often I get excited about a Thread here ... but this one has my attention.

At the first available opportunity ... I will taste test.

Thanks for the heads up ...

.

[jaideeguy]

try it and let me know what you think....my favorite way to drink it is a cocktail with a shot of rum, some orange juice and a bit of soda water.

Didn't mention that it comes in a square bottle with a brownish label.

Rum and Coke was my downfall. That is how I first got laid 20 years ago. I'll try it out and send back a report.

Oh, wait, I mean I'll send back a report on the rum.

Cheap and Thai in the same sentence is usually enough to deter me not coerce me.

[Briggsy]

Tesco also sells Bermuda xxx, an Indian rum. It is 40% alcohol and gets you pissed.

I wonder how "Black Cock" would do back in the US?

[Chicog]

You could wash it down with some Coon cheese.

[fish fingers]

smells of molasses means its def made from molasses, the by product of sugar cane, rather than cane juice(most rums are made from molasses apart from a few s american and french caribbean rums). Will try this out, thanks for posting.

... and the alcohol content.

[jaideeguy]

700 ml and 40% and yes, the same company that makes 'black cock'. Don't be misled by the cheap price, as it is a winner over Bacardi or Capt morgan at 3X the price.

So does lighter fluid.

You have to inhale it. Gasoline also works, can't recommend it though.

Always nice to see a man who knows his tipple.

There is a shop on the corner 2nd road/Pattaya Klang that sells Stroh 80 Rum from Austria. The 80 is for the alcohol in %. Excellent taste. Try and stop bothering about soft drinks.

American women say they go well together, and half of it is free.

[barefoot1988]

[stoneyboy]

Only one Rum.

That stuff is lethal I had some a couple of yrs ago made the mistake of necking a shotglass of the stuff and couldnt talk for nearly 20 minutes as it was like drinkning anaesthetic and tasted like it as well and at around AU$60 for a 350ml bottle its well expensive .

Lighter fluid? Who could afford to drink lighter fluid here in Thailand? Even when you can find it, it is far to expensive to drink.

[martynsnowmans]

i like a glass of sangsom myself 40% and only 230 bt for 70cl

[TenDreams]

I bought a bottle of Tom's rum last night - pleasantly surprised. Had a few Cubre Libras, might try it in Mojitos tonight, think it will work well.

Definitely a superior taste to Bacardi (which I never touch). I'm a fan of aged Havana (5-7 years) and Mount Gay myself. Anyway, this is a good find, cheers OP!
