S.B.S Thailand 2016

Most enjoy its mild 55% and caramel‑vanilla Panama style, while critics find it thin, short and a bit bitter. Consensus: decent, fairly priced curiosity for Spanish-style fans.

    Panama-style Thai sipper, mild yet simple
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Panama or other Spanish-style rums and want a clean, unsweetened take at 55%, this is a safe, good-value pick—just don’t expect big funk or deep complexity.

    Not really suitable for

    Funk hunters, complexity chasers, or drinkers who dislike bitterness and short finishes; also not ideal if you expect rich pot still character.

    First time for me to try a rum from Thailand. I love it even though it is a rum of mystery. Nice sweet notes of honey and sweet spices.

    Ich dachte mir so - 60 Geld für was, das sich richtig interessant anhört, auch wenn ich bis jetz noch nix aus Thailand hatte, was mich so richtig vom Hocker gehauen hat - aber die haben mir gesagt, der hat viel, von nem Panama-Rum und ich mag Panama und das finde ich, trifft hier auch krass zu. Die Nase is spannend hier hat man erst mal ganz viel karamell und dann kommt noch sowas zwischem verbranntem Zucker und verbranntem Gummi durch. Am Gaumen macht er sich auch wunderschön, auch noch Vanille,Zabak und ein bisschen fruchtigkeit kommen dazu. Der Abgang ist eher kurz. Wenn ich Alkohol pur trinke, habe ich am liebsten was spannendes, komplexes, mit dem ich mich ewig beschäftigen kann, aber den sippe ich auch so trotzdem gerne. Der ist lecker, vor allem für den Preis.

    Interesting column stil. Flavorful with surprisingly intense impact from the barrel. Can hold up to the more interesting columns out there imo.
