TBRC Issan 2015
A curious option for explorers wanting to try Thai pure cane juice rum. Light, vegetal and slightly fermented with raspberry and dried apricot notes. Best seen as a mixing rum for Daiquiris or Ti’ Punch-style drinks.

The look inside the bottle
How does TBRC Issan 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Thai cane-juice curiosity, light and quirky A niche white cane-juice rum: interesting vegetal, fermented notes, but many find it too diluted at 40% with limited length. More educational and cocktail-friendly than a standout sipper.
Curious explorers who enjoy grassy, vegetal white rums, want to broaden their horizons beyond classic agricoles, and mainly mix Daiquiris or Ti’ Punch-style drinks.
Those wanting a rich sipping rum, lovers of heavier sweetness, or drinkers who dislike fermented, funky or vegetal profiles.

Naja, das ist mal so gar nicht meins! Für mich hat der Issan nicht wirklich was mit einem Rum gemein! Er schmeckt recht künstlich!
Review by zabo
Edit: Not bad at all in a daiquiri or as TiPunch, although it lacks a bit of punch. Unfortunately it only has 40%. It was already a fun experiment as an underdog splt. An unaged from Thailand was previously unknown to me. It would definitely be interesting to try it again in a daiquiri. Pure and with cola, there's something better in the price range. Conclusion: at least it broadened my horizons, a shallow HubbaBubba drink.
Review by Johannes
Blind tasting: Agricole is clear, I can't make out the country, rather not Martinique or similar, it's not fruity enough for that, rather yeasty.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is obviously very vegetal and herbaceous. But for a white made from pure cane juice, it's a far cry from our usual agricultural rums, with a spicy, "piquant" aromatic profile. It's more like a Haitian clairin, but not quite. The nose is rather intense for 40% and interesting (sweet notes). On the palate, it's balanced and pleasant. There are of course aromas of fresh cane, but all spiced up with peppery touches. But it's far too sweet for my taste. There's no length at all, it lacks watts.

Read full review →I say this, not as someone who demands Cask Strength or Overproof offerings. I’m perfectly happy with a lot of 40% ABV rums. This one however left me a little cold. There is definite potential though and hopefully Issan's one offerings aren't dosed or mucked around with.
