Sip and savour special moments with the original Thai single malt whisky
This Father’s Day, raise a glass to the men who have shaped us and discover the refined flavours of PRAKAAN. Whether you’re looking for a standout bottle they’re guaranteed to cherish, or to transport them to the warmth of a faraway land without leaving the table, PRAKAAN is the perfect gift.
Thailand has always been a land of intrigue. A place of contrasts, rich culture and emotional generosity. Now it is the birthplace of PRAKAAN: the original Thai whisky. This remarkable new whisky is expertly crafted at PRAKAAN Distillery in the province of Kamphaeng Phet, which sits within Thailand’s northerly Western Forest Complex – part of a vast, UNESCO World heritage site. The area’s abundance of natural resources and hot, humid climate, combined with the great traditions of local craftsmanship, provide the perfect conditions to make premium whisky with a distinctive Thai character.
Launching this Father’s Day, the highly anticipated single malt is unmistakably distinctive. The soul of PRAKAAN is its connection to the rich tapestry of Thai culture, from the delicate intricacies of local art to the historical narratives embedded in every brick of the old, fortified walls from which the whisky takes its name. Crafted from mineral-rich waters sourced from Thailand’s lush and unspoiled landscapes, Prakaan’s magic is awakened. Skilled hands guided by warm hearts transform nature’s purest gifts into a breathtaking single malt that elevates ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences.
PRAKAAAN has three delectable expressions named ‘The Tribura Series’ which are inspired by the wall’s three fortified layers. These whiskies represent the Thai history, provenance and passion that is woven into every step of their creation – a pride in Thai heritage that is at the core of every drop.
Each whisky is distinctively different in taste, but The Tribura Series collectively share the same characteristically Thai ‘house style’, boasting tropical fruit notes combined with sweet, vanilla notes. Each bottle, whether it’s the Single Cask, Peated or Double Cask, is crafted to reflect the qualities which make fatherhood so meaningful: patience, character and complexity.
