Chalong Bay Distillery
For spirited tastings, tours and classes
Phuket’s first boutique distillery produces more than 20,000 bottles of rhum agricole (rum made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice) each year. While you can easily score a bottle at the supermarket these days, paying a pilgrimage to the production site is worth the time.
Sign up for cocktail workshops, drop in for one of the weekly barbecues or join a tour to see how they use a brass Armagnac still to turn homegrown sugarcane into world-class rum that’s perfect for a mojito.
