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
- 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 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 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 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 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 Julien Huitel 🇫🇷
« 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 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.
