Phraya Elements Rum, 70cl

Phraya Elements is a Thai gold rum made from sugarcane molasses grown around Kanchanaburi and aged in charred American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Phraya Elements Rum is bottled at 40% ABV and has a rounded, butterscotch-led character, with honey and gentle spice. It offers an interesting alternative to Caribbean rums for anyone wanting to explore Thai rum.

About the brand

Phraya is a premium Thai rum brand, crafted in the Central West region of Thailand. Its rums are made from molasses taken from sugarcane grown in Kanchanaburi, one of the country’s largest sugarcane-growing provinces, where the landscape remains largely unspoiled.

How it’s made

The molasses-based distillate is matured slowly in American oak ex-bourbon barrels stored beside a cool water lagoon. After ageing, the master blender hand-selects and blends the contents of several charred barrels into one harmonious rum. The result is a golden spirit described as smooth and vibrant with a warm finish.

Tasting notes

• Nose: vanilla, honey, toffee and butterscotch, with ginger and delicate floral notes.
• Palate: butterscotch and vanilla with a hint of honey blossom.
• Finish: gentle spice and butterscotch sweetness, warm and lingering.

How to enjoy it

Phraya Elements suits sipping neat or over ice, where the butterscotch and honey show clearly. It also works in tropical cocktails, for example with Thai tea, pineapple and lime, or in a highball with soda and a wedge of lime. A rocks glass is a good choice for sipping.
