PHRAYA DEEP MATURED GOLD

#10 – PHRAYA DEEP MATURED GOLD

COUNTRY: Thailand
ABV (PROOF): 40% (80)
PRICE: $ 45 | € 40
TYPE: rum

Top rum in the Sangsom’s range, it’s a blend of 7-to-12-year-old spirits made from local sugarcane and matured in heavily charred casks lulled by tropical temperatures.

The nose is rich with ripe exotic fruit like plantain, mango, and starfruit. There’s a bit of salty brine with aeration, along with greasier notes of coconut oil, sugarcane syrup, and young wood spices like vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The palate is crisp: plantain, almond, citrus essential oil, cloves, and edible flowers. A bitter note prolongs the finish with more spices covered with molasses and a fresh mineral hint.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE

Among the rums tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof).  The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.

This list will be published in detail in Winter 2021 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
