A complex and tasty rhum agricole from Issan in the north east region of Thailand that shares its name with the distillery, bottled by That Boutique-y Rum Company. The spirit is made with the juice from red sugar cane, which is distilled in the copper pot still that you see on the label. Fascinating stuff, produced by a distillery with a big focus on sustainability and community - brilliant!
Batch 1 is a release of 836 bottles.
We reckon Issan is one of our Best Rums under £40!
Grassy and herbaceous, with green olive water and damp hay among touches of aromatic vanilla, butterscotch and dark berries.
Tinned sweetcorn water, sweet vanilla and more black fruit, with a little toffee and the slightest alcohol burn.
A hint of honey blossom lingers.
Intriguing, complex and delicious in equal measure.

I really like this. It reminds me of fresh ‘clairin’ rhum agricole from Haiti. Lovers of top quality tequila would enjoy this too.
There's not a single redeeming thing about this drink. As soon as i opened the bottle i had a sniff and thought it smelled dodgy. The taste is even worse. It's not like a rum at all. The tasting notes should be more like a combination of stagnant water and wet dog with a hint of petrol. I don't often waste a drink but this is so bad i poured the glass down the drain.
Lacks body and flavour and should never have been put on the market at 40% ABV. How this got released under the TBRC banner is a total mystery to me. Sorry guys, even with £20 off, it's still overpriced.
