Chalong Bay Distillery The Spirit Of Phuket Lemongrass 2016

6.6/10 10 community reviews ↓

A newcomer-friendly cane-juice rum infused with lemongrass. RumX members find intense lemongrass, citrus and herbal notes on the nose, but a soft, very gentle palate. Best used in refreshing cocktails rather than for neat sipping.

The community says
  • Fresh lemongrass nose
  • Very mild palate
  • Short finish

How does Chalong Bay Distillery The Spirit Of Phuket Lemongrass 2016 taste?

Aggregated from 10 community reviews.

Fresh lemongrass mixer, mild sip Solid, lemongrass-driven agricole-style rum that smells fresh and herbal but drinks very mild and short. Generally enjoyed more as a cocktail ingredient than as a complex sipper.

Perfect for

Cocktail enthusiasts wanting a fresh, lemongrass-forward cane rum for long drinks and tiki twists rather than neat sipping.

Less suitable for

Neat-sipping fans looking for depth, long finish or classic unflavoured agricole character.

Plutôt en cocktail, ça sent fort la citronnelle

Seems almost perfumed overall due to the lemongrass. Certainly tasty for drinks and overall it doesn't pick me up and could be much more intense and aromatic. On the other hand, as I said, there aren't many infused agricoles!

Pas fans de l’infusion, goût un peu chimique, l’original est bien meilleur!
