Description :
We take you to discover tropical flavors and natural ingredients of Thai culinary art. In search of authenticity and naturalness, we distill Chalong Bay Lemongrass using a rare distillation method – steam infusion, without added flavors or sugars.
During a single distillation, we extract the vapors from our 100% pure natural Thai cane juice, and direct them through an infusion vessel containing fresh lemongrass carefully cut by hand, before condensing them and giving birth at Chalong Bay Lemongrass.
Discover a pure and natural rum, without additives, made from Thai ingredients grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides in partnership with small local farmers, in a sustainable way, and produced with French know-how and distillation equipment. Both exotic and subtle, Chalong Bay Citronnelle stands out for its freshness and balance.
