Mekhong Thai Spirit 70cl
£18.99
Mekhong Thai Spirit is dominated by aromas of eucalyptus and toffee on the nose, ginger and walnut on the tongue and a long-lasting finish. Often mistaken as a sort of Thai whisky, Mekhong is actually made of 95% molasses and 5% rice. A popular drink amongst the tourist of Thailand.
We thought this was a whisky (it used to call itself whisky anyway) but further inspection reveals it to be a ‘Thai spirit’, which is distilled from around 95% molasses and 5% rice, then flavoured and coloured (thanks to diffordsguide.com for the info). So really, it’s closest to a flavoured rum. Best when mixed long with plenty of ice.
