Aroma visualization from community tastings
La Maison Du Whisky Rum Thailand (Flag Series) 2016
Most tasters landed on "pleasantly surprised" — Thailand isn't where people expect good rum, and this one changes minds. Expect roasted coconut, caramel, vanilla and red fruit against fresh herbal, spicy notes and a dry, slightly bitter finish. A few felt the column-still character shows and it drinks a touch young, but the 61% is well integrated.
The community says- Roasted coconut
- Well-integrated alcohol
- But: Bitter, dry finish

Intense, herbal Thai rum with roasted coconut A surprise hit from Thailand: intense, herbal and full of roasted coconut and caramel. Several compared it to Foursquare or St. Lucia. Finish turns dry and bitter for some.

Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris 2025. Un nez gourmand et pâtissier, mais aussi frais. Le bois est en soutient. La bouche est plus expressive et pleine avec un alcool très bien intégré. Un côté herbacé, pimenté, amer et frais fait bon ménage avec du caramel et de la noix de coco. La finale est plutôt longue, sèche et amère avec un beau côté chocolat au lait. Tout à la fin l’amer prédomine. De nouveau un belle sélection de fût.

#5720 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A very interesting release thinking about most rums from Thailand are sub par and usually sweet. This one is nice and peppery with some fruits, sublte wood and faint coconut.
Review by Dr.Django
Der FRC mit dem Tuk-Tuk auf dem Cover war der erste Thai Rum, der einem Lust auf mehr Stoff aus Thailand gemacht hat. Er ist mit seinen vier Jahren auch der Jüngste, was man ihm überhaupt nicht anmerkt. Sehr ausgeglichener Easy-Sipper. Dagegen ist der LMWD schon etwas wilder und anspruchsvoller. Der Rumporter überzeugt mich heute am meisten. Das Finish ist süß, passt aber insgesamt zum Profil und verleitet ihm noch eine holzige Fruchtnote. Die Aromen sind alle sehr ähnlich: Vanille, Kokosnuss, Schokolade, Tabak und süße rote Früchte. Drei Exoten, die alle zu überzeugen wissen! Hoffe da kommt in nächster Zeit mehr auf die Rum-Regale. Aber auch mit diesen Dreien macht man absolut nichts falsch. 8.3 / 8.2 / 8.5
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, glue and fresh, herbaceous molasses, coconut, roasted wood notes with caramel, nuts, spicy with vanilla and cinnamon, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, confectionery with biscuits arise, caramelized notes, dried, citrus and yellow fruits. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is fruity with citrus fruits and coconut, fresh with herbaceous sugar cane hints, as the wood is roasted, oily with caramel, confectionery, nuts, spicy with allspice, vanilla and salty.When the rum is oxidized, some bitterness crawls in, dried apricots, perhaps some new tropical fruits, maybe peaches. 8,1:The finish is quite long, dry, less balanced with citrus, dried fruits and coconut pairing buttery roasted wood notes, smoky and spicy, herbaceous and earthy tones with tobacco..
Review by Skyfly
Sehr intensiver und vielschichtiger Rum. Kokosnuss, Holz und Karamell stehen im Fokus, daneben Röstaromen, Nuss und getrocknete Früchte. Interessant ist der frische Kräutereinfluss. Alkohol spürbar, aber gut eingebunden.
Review by zabo
So nun endlich die drei neuen Abfüllungen aus der Flag Series probiert. Der Rum aus Thailand hat mich hier dann doch am meisten überrascht. Finde das Profil sehr spannend und lecker. Der Alkoholi ist gut integriert und der Preis im Gegensatz zu den zwei anderen erschwinglich
Review by Thunderbird
Eine außergewöhnliche Abfüllung, die sehr vielfältige Aromen aufweist..von süß (fast schon quengelig) bis hin zum Grasigen ganz spät im Abgang. An Gaumen ist er zudem recht ölig mit sehr gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Aufgrund der Süsse ist er allerdings nicht so meins
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasted at WLP2025. 👃 Herbaceous, fresh, overripe citrus, lively without being biting, quite a bit of bright spice, light caramel. 😋 endemic sugar cane slightly salty, atypical. Toasted coconut, coconut pastries. Citrus bitterness, still that freshness, lively alcohol, still a bit young for me. ⛳ Nice sunny sugarcane sensation, coconut, citrus, light spice combination.
Review by DomM
Intense on both nose and palate. Rich caramel and vanilla notes paired with coconut and yellow fruits.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Maybe my first Thailand rum. This did sit in the glass for a good 20 minutes before the review. On the nose: Coconut, woody and roasted are the main notes, there is some caramel and vanilla notes that bring some sweetness to the palate and dried fruits. Pretty close to St.Lucia rum. Taste: Woody, roasted, burnt sugar and vanilla notes. Then you get some coffee and chocolate notes while the mouthfeel is slightly oily. Light herbal note in the background. Good integration of alcohol. Finish: Woody, roasted, chocolate notes and light coconut notes. Dry. I liked this rum, but im a little bit of confused when i compare my tasting notes to others, is this the same rum? In any case, in a blind tasting I would have guessed that this is Chairman’s Reserve or maybe El Dorado

« Premières impressions dégustation whisky live 2025, il faudra une deuxième dégustation au calme pour vraiment valider ou faire évoluer le commentaire et la note » Découverte de ce terroir thaïlandais, nez sur le fruit, rond et exotiques. Bouche vive, plus tendue que le nez, finale moyenne.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum thaïlandais original et exotique qui permet de varier un peu les plaisirs. Le nez offre une étrange et pourtant efficace combinaison entre les notes pâtissières (brioche, caramel) soutenues par le bois, et les notes herbacées qui apportent ce vent de fraîcheur aux nasaux. On y trouve également beaucoup d’épices (piment, vanille, poivre) mais aussi des arômes plus fruités sur la noix de coco et l’acidité des agrumes. C’est à la fois gourmand et atypique. On retrouve en bouche ce côté pâtissier et mielleux qui apporte de la douceur et contrebalance les herbes, fraîches et amères. Le profil gagne en amertume et obtient des notes plus salines, plus rôties et gagne en intensité. Le profil est vif, avec de belles notes de citron vert et de noix de coco. C’est une agréable surprise, très plaisant à boire et avec un alcool très bien intégré qui plus est. La finale est longue, toujours aussi riche et ambivalente. Les marqueurs herbacés et épicés font une dernière danse avec les fruits exotiques et les notes beurrées, le tout avec un rapport de force équilibré. La trame en fond prend une tournure plus chocolatée et apporte un plus en cette fin de bouche. Une belle sélection pour la Flag Series qui permet d’apprécier la montée en gamme de la Thaïlande, et ce pour un prix vraiment raisonnable.
Review by TheJackDrop
I don't know if it tastes like Thailand, but it's surprisingly interesting and affordable. This little juice is a real winner! It's a bit all over the place, with a lovely intensity on the palate, somewhere between caramel candy and herbaceousness... plus the big red fruits I like. Something for everyone? Certainly!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really tasty, strong, and well-balanced rum from Thailand. Could pass as a Foursquare blind. Red fruits, lots of caramelized coconut, vanilla, a bit of sea salt, and light herbs as well as butterscotch notes. The alcohol is well integrated. Definitely worth trying!!

Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm score and notes A pleasant surprise, a spicy full bodied rum
Review by Johannes
Schon sehr gut, aber mit etwas zu viel Kolonne.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Thailand 2016 - 61% With its hot, humid climate, Thailand offers ideal conditions for growing sugarcane, introduced as early as the XIVᵉ century. Although the first sugar mill was built here in 1937, the country is now the world's second-largest exporter of cane sugar. Distilled in a column still, this rum aged for four years in a tropical climate, then continued maturing in a continental climate. On the palate, there's a lovely intensity, marked by notes of red fruit. Without being transcendent, it comes off rather well and remains pleasant to taste.
Review by Filip Šikula
WLP 2025 Toto bylo jedno z velkých překvapení whisky live paris v roce 2025. Obvykle rumy z asie nevyhledávám, ale když je podepsán velier, zkusím je. A tady bych velmy složitě poznával, že nejde třeba o barbados.
