Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
Fermentation of local sugarcane molasses, column distillation with a double pass; subsequent aging in ex-bourbon American oak barrels with a 'deep maturation' technique (barrels stored near lagoons/rivers and in semi‑underground areas to stabilize maturation).
Distillation
Column distillation; double distillation (according to technical descriptions the second pass at very high proof to obtain a clean, expressive spirit).
Ageing
Aging in ex-bourbon American oak barrels; 'deep' maturation with barrels stored in cool/semi‑underground areas and near lagoons/lakes to reduce angel's share and stabilize maturation in the tropical climate.
Producer history Phraya
Phraya was created in Thailand as a premium line intended to represent local rum production on the international stage. The brand is produced at the facility associated with the group that owns SangSom and has developed as a reference for a luxury offering of Thai rums. According to specialized publications, the project was launched as a distinct brand in recent years to position itself on the global market as a flagship of Thai rum.
Production philosophy
Phraya presents itself as a rum that expresses the elements of the territory (earth, water, fire, air): use of local cane and molasses, water from the Ta Chin River, aging in American oak and maturation in cool/semi‑underground environments to achieve the balance and roundness suited to the Southeast Asian climate.
Territory
Thailand (raw materials from Kanchanaburi province; water from the Ta Chin River; aging on shores/lagoons in facilities linked to SangSom/Nakhon Pathom).
Awards and recognitions
Medals won at international competitions: Phraya has received recognitions including medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, World Rum Awards and awards at other international industry competitions.
