Opinions land low and stay there. Most tasters find it thin and light, with vanilla, sugar and a lemony citrus edge over some unintegrated alcohol. A few call it surprisingly drinkable for a cheap bottle; others go harsh on it. Nearly everyone agrees on one thing: this is a mixer, not a sipper. Think Thai holiday bucket drink cut with cola or Sprite.

How does Thai Beverage Marketing Sangsom Special Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Thin, sweet mixer, not for sipping Most see it as a light, sweet, boozy mixing rum — fine cut with cola or in cocktails, but thin and a bit medicinal when tasted neat.

Review by Stefan Persson
Thai rum produced from rice. I think it’s slightly better than its brother, Mehkong. Not to be drunk neat, but it works well as a party drink mixed with 1/4 Coke or Sprite. There have been some bottles ordered in Bangla Road, Phuket. Have a bottle in my Rum Bar just to remind me of those heydays.
Review by LukaŽiga
5,8:On the nose is very thin, sweet, with hints of sugar cane, herbs, rosemary, basil, caramel and coffee. Some cinnamon, rose water, vanilla, white chocolate and some cream arise. 5,5:On the palate, it is weak, thin with ripe fruits:mango, some nuts, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg. At least it is rather creamy. 5:The finish is light and faint, almost as it has never came through with some fruit, caramel and soy..
Review by Максим Веслополов
After much hesitation, I bought this rum on a whim. It's surprisingly smooth, with a slight sweetness. It's actually quite good and drinkable, especially for a cheap rum.
Review by Oliver
Reminds me of Stroh Rum. Finish quite alcoholic. But okay for mixing.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
Not much on the nose. Subtle hints of vanilla and popcorn, a touch of lemony citrus. The palate is just as light as the nose. Sweet and sour with a little medicinal note in the mix. The finish doesn't hang around for long. The medicinal note clings the the mouth the longest. Super subtle. Not sure what to say about it. Not much to be offended by or admire.
Review by Adam Rajchert
Tastes like it has added sugar. But not so much to be sticky and liqueur-like. edit: the next day I found a very thin layer of sugar in the glass. Smell: wood, vanilla, hazelnuts, chocolate, dried flowers, dried fruits, nuts, honey Taste: sweetness, pepper, dried flowers, brown sugar, hazelnuts, wood, alcohol

Review by Morgan Garet
Thai rum, great for cocktails.
Review by Michal S
A very mediocre rum tuned exactly in the style that customers expect. That is, topped with sugar, a little vanilla flavour and something spicier. There is a hint of alcohol in the aroma and taste, overall it can be used in drinks at most.
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 23-01-2016 This was one of my first tasting events and it was disgusting then that taste like a herbal dishwater. Revisit in 2020 and still had the same opinion that if you take your dirty dishwasher water and add caramel colouring this is what you get . Vile
Review by Henry Davies
Not as bad as the memory of buckets would suggest. Real sweetness and caramel on the mouth, fairly full and bullish finish with petrol and ethanol. Vanilla and sugar on the mouth with some unintegrated alcohol. Not great but if need must an option as a mixed drink
Review by StormAK
Ром годится чтобы его пить. Чуть водянистый. В аромате травянистость, банан, фрукты. В послевкусии догоняет бочка.
