One of many ancient philosophy originated in the Orient is that any physical matter in the universe are the merging of elements commonly known as earth, water, fire, air. A combination of these elements in various proportions provides visible and sensory distinction of objects and lives.

The soil in central Thailand is known to be rich and fertile. It is said that crops and fruits grown in this region give out the most luscious of flavour. Sugarcane specifically cultivated for Phraya is grown on a location that has been carefully selected for its fertility. Its sweet, full of flavour form the heart of this remarkable rum.

Water has played an integral part in Thai people’s lives throughout the ages, from early settlement on the river banks to its vital role in Thai agriculture. Phraya is distilled from the purified soft natural water of the Ta Chin River, lending it a delicate mellow balance.

Fire is utilized to char the oak barrels used to age the liquid. Its flaming property invigorates the wood of these hand-crafted barrels to improve the flavour of Phraya, imparting it with sweet and spicy nuances.

The chosen rum spend years resting in oak barrels over lagoons. The spirits is given time to allow it to breathe slowly and in peace before emerging as Phraya. This maturation technique allows Phraya to develop its inimitable spiced yet smooth traits.

Deep Maturation

The warehouse used to store these barrels has been built to sit over river-mouth lagoons. The coolness of the lagoon’s environ effectively slow down the aging process allowing the rum to nurture and develop its distinctive depth. Upon its coming of age between seven and twelve years, only barrels containing the very finest rum are selected for blending by the skillful master distiller. And so, PHRAYA, a rum of unsurpassed quality is created.
