Issan Rum Distillery, Nong Khai Province, Thailand
5.0 (58 reviews) Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #3 in Nong Khai Distilleries
One of the Issan Region's hidden gems
The Issan Rum Distillery is a compact, casual and comfortable place, one can check out, on the outskirts of town, while in and or nearby Nong Khai. I chose to do a brief technical tour of the alcohol manufacturing and storage facilities, before sampling the local product. As a former bar manager (as well as a continuing student of alcoholic beverages ...) myself, I found the short but sweet back story information, provided by the friendly hosts, to be informative and entertaining. I am also glad that I chose to do a 'taste tester' set, 'lakeside' by the small bar overlooking the dam, too. And if you are wondering, how was the sugar cane spirit (?), well I am happy to advise that I did purchase a bottle for takeaway, so yes, I do feel it is a high quality (and quite strong) white rum. A great little spot (see my YouTube), that I reckon can be positively categorised as another one of the Isaan region's many hidden gems.

Great little Gem to find
While taking a time out in Nong Khai, we look for out of the way places to explore. To our luck trip adviser pointed us to the right place. Easy to find using google maps, short drive from the river walk. Arriving from the dirt road you see the naturally enhanced landscape, empeckable views of a natural pond. Shaded areas with cosey sitting areas. Lek the Host, 0wner and distiller greeted us with a smile. First offering was a great cup of freashly ground bean coffee. Next came the famous Issan Rum, we were not disappointed. With the friendly company of another guest from France (living in Thailand 21 years) the mid-morning was a treat. Highly Recommend a visit on your trip to Nong Khai.

good rum to taste.
the distillery is quite far off the city at some small countryside road. map is correct, though the building looks like a living home. not much to see how the rum is distilled, but you can try the rum. i got a small glass pure rum and a glass with lime, sugar and ice. the first one is much better than any white rum (e.g. baccardi) and the later is really good to drink on a hot day. they have 2 bottle sizes: 70 cl and 33 cl. the big one is quite cheaper than the half bottle. anyway cheaper than buying the imported rum/
