Named after Thailand’s Mekhong River, Mekhong rum was the first ever locally produced brown spirit in the whole of Thailand and has now become a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. Its flavour is rich and nutty with notes of ginger and citrus coming through. Those classic dark rum flavours of toffee and vanilla also play a part but it’s the deep, bitter walnut which lingers. The gingery notes in Mekhong make it the perfect partner for zesty lime.
