Sang Som
Just a quick question for those of you who live in melbourne or australia. while in thailand last year my mate and i got hooked on sang som,when we came home we broght a couple bottle down each with us because thats the maximum amount of alcohol you can bring into the country before you start paying tax on it,it took us about 2 and a half days to finsh those while sitting around the barby remenissing about LOS! i've been all over melb trying to find a place that sells sang som but cannot find it anywhere i find it strang,maybe i missed a shop so if any bm's do know of a place that does sell the stuff please i mean please from a fellow felang and alcohic well not really an alco only in LOS
 but yeah it would be greatly appreciated if you could help... thanx and cheerz

Sang Som Thai Liquor? And L21 plus shipping? I'll have to imagine what it use to taste like. It's not good enough to go looking for. Its just okay to drink while you're there. I saw it at the airport when I was leaving for 390 baht but didn't feel like carrying it.
The label on the export product doesn't look the same. Could it be something different? It's rum!

Sang Som is good sh!t! I drank loads of it on my last trip and brought an undisclosable amount of it back with me. At £4 a bottle you can't go wrong and god does it get it get you sh!t faced, mixed with coke it's smooth as silk!

The reason you get sh!t faced so quickly is down to the ingredients and i don't mean the alcohol....a good Thai friend of mine who deals with exporting goods out of Thailand told me that Sang Som is not permitted into any EU country also Australia or America, this is also because of the ingredients, that is the reason that you will not find it in your local supermarkets or even speciality stores. Oh he also told me DO NOT DRINK IT IN EXCESS his words not mine.

AS SEFTON livinlos says surely samsong is only drunk by guys who are running short of cash , although it says whiskey on the bottle it actually tastes like bacardi white rum, as for being smooth perhaps it is after drinking maybe a bottle of johnie black first (then you are so piss ed that everything is smooth 55555555)
i have to admit that i have spent some nights on the samsong its drinkable with red bull or lipo and soda but its horrible with coke or sprite !

Bought a bottle of mehkong home with me. Meant to try sangsom on the advice of bar girl but didn't. Love the Mehkong after a few beers and the posters saying no hangover are right. It just does not happen.

I think it's more the experience you have with Sang Som.
It was the recent Chinese New Years I went out with a chic and her close friends to a park in Pattaya they had some live band. Anyways they had a big jug of Sang Som, club soda and ice. It was pretty good. Got us all toasty. But that stuff gives you one hell of a hangover in the morning.

I think when they say "degree" they mean percent and it's most likely the finely selected herbs content that disconnects your brain from your legs after a few glasses !>>>>>
Rum Rum is a kind of liquor derived from distilling cane juice, sugar or molasses until the product is with 60-95 degree alcohol content. The content will then be mixed with purified water to produce a satisfactory level of alcohol content before being transferred to age in charred oak barrels for at least one year. Before being bottled the liquor may be further mixed to adjust for desired color, aroma, and taste, but it has to have at least 40 degree alcohol content. Sangsom Gold Medallion Sangsom Gold Medallion is a rum that has to undergo a special production process, resulting in a fine liquor that has been distilled and aged in oak barrels for 5 years, after that, it is blended with a special concentrate of finely selected herbs and spices and the best quality alcohol to give Sangsom that special taste and aroma. The liquor won a gold medal in the liquor competition in Madrid, Spain, in 1982 and 1983, and won another award in the liquor competition in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1983. Since then, it has been known among its connoisseurs as "Sangsom Gold Medallion". Sangsom Superior Sangsom Superior is a rum that has to undergo a special production process, resulting in a fine liquor that has been distilled and aged in oak barrels for 5-8 years. Sangsom Premium Sangsom Premium is a rum that has to undergo a special production process, resulting in a fine liquor that has been distilled and aged in oak barrels for 5-8 years. After that, it is blended with imported rye whiskey, a special concentrate of finely selected herbs, and spices and best quality alcohol from Sangsom Distillery. Sangsom Similan Sangsom Similan is a product of Sangsom rum that has been aged in oak barrels for 5-8 years. After that, it is blended with aged rum. No special concentrate is added, only some colors are added. Mekhong Mekhong is a special blend of 35 degree liquor, a product of Bangyikhan Distillery, the first distillery in Thailand. Mekhong was first produced in 1941 when the Excise Department's main aim then was to produce a Thai liquor with a high standard of production and taste to replaced imported products. It also underwent an extensive development in appearance, production process and taste from 1943 to 1946. Mekhong Superior Mekhong Superior is a product mixed of liquor with fine herbs and imported rye whiskey, as well as the best kind of alcohol from the Bangyikhan Distillery. This results in Mekhong Superior. |
