Chalong Bay Distillery The Spirit Of Phuket Pure Series 2018

Anyone curious about agricole from outside the French islands will find a real one here — cane juice, fresh herbs, lemon and lime, floral and grassy in the glass. A member sums it up as "agricole personality with funky notes." The 40% keeps it easy but light; several tasters wish it hit harder neat. Where it really shines is a ti'punch with the distillery's own syrup.

The community says
  • Real agricole cane
  • Bright citrus
  • Keep in mind: Feels diluted

How does Chalong Bay Distillery The Spirit Of Phuket Pure Series 2018 taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Fresh, grassy Thai agricole that wants more proof Well-made, genuinely agricole, and it makes a fine ti'punch. The recurring gripe is the same: at 40% it feels diluted, and most wish for a higher-proof version.

On the nose immediately a nice Agricole, doesn't have to hide from the French. On the tongue sweet yet complex, lots to taste, doesn't burn, almost gentle, nice finish. Could handle more proof...

Another Chalong Bay. Similar to the previous one. The nose is very fresh. Very floral and citrus fruits are recognizable. The palate is also very herbal. Citrus fruits are also present here, and sugar cane is also recognizable.

Yesterday a Chalong Bay. Actually quite okay. Very fruity already on the nose. Citrus fruits are clearly recognizable here. Also very refreshing taste of lemon and lime. Drinkable.

A taste of exotic fruit and fresh herbs. Unfortunately, the taste is a little too diluted. Try it at a higher proof. The history of the distillery is fascinating: it's the fruit of the will of passionate Frenchmen who wanted to believe in their dream. Hats off to them!

7.3/10

A cool little distillery in Thailand under French management. The entire production is organic and they have fair partnerships with local sugar cane farmers. Unfortunately, they are not allowed to produce and sell booze over 40 ABV in Thailand🤪 However, an overproof is available via France, which should be very exciting. Ti'Punch with the specially produced syrup was excellent. On its own, however, it lacks strength in taste. Still a good rum.

Tried at the 12 GRF in Berlin: Something new again, well crafted. Not as exciting as the Wild Fermentation.

Bigw fan of cane juice and this is another very good one. Very fruity and cane-y, this agricole style rum from Thailand has its own flavor. Great to mix with and good on its own.
