About Chalong Bay Rum Distillery

Visiting Phuket’s first and only distillery, Chalong Bay Distillery, is an experience that should not be missed. This internationally award-winning distillery is known for producing a 100% natural rum using only the 'best-of-crop' Thai sugarcane and centuries-old French distillation methods. The refreshing Chalong Bay Mojito is a must-try for anyone who visits.

The distillery offers more than just a tasting experience. For those who love cocktails, the distillery's expert mixologists offer a fun and engaging masterclass. This two-hour Cocktail Workshop experience includes the making and sipping of three cocktails, as well as a tour of the distillery. The distillery also offers creative cuisine crafted by a Michelin-plate awarded chef. The food is amazing, with the tacos being a standout favorite for lunch.

One of the highlights of the distillery is the cocktail workshop. Even if you almost miss it, it's worth making the effort to participate. The workshop is intimate, often with small groups, making it feel like a private lesson. The staff, like Fook, are friendly and generous with the booze. The mini workshop includes making two cocktails and a tour of the distillery. The Devil’s Gold cocktail is a favorite among many, so much so that some visitors have been inspired to buy their own cocktail making set to recreate it at home.

The team at Chalong Bay Distillery is exceptional. The food is great, the cocktails are exceptional, and the tasting experience is fun. The distillery tour and cocktail making class come highly recommended. Visitors often leave feeling 'happy' and with a couple of takeaways.

The distillery is also a great place to relax and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. The staff are dedicated to building a strong community while producing excellent spirits. If you arrive early for your tour, you can enjoy delicious Spring Rolls and a cocktail. The tour is informative, and the sampling at the end is generous and tasty. The distillery produces a variety of Rums, as well as Gin and Vodka. It's a delightful way to slow down, relax, and support people working to make a great product and helping improve the lives of local farmers at the same time.

The distillery also offers a cocktail class where you can learn to make three cocktails. The local food is excellent, with the Aralia leaf tempura being a must-try. The service is excellent, and the vibes are fun and lively. The distillery is a place that Phuket needed, a place where you can enjoy the best cocktails, Rum, and Gin.

However, like any place, there can be off days. On some occasions, the service might not be up to par. There might be times when you have to wait a bit longer for your order or have to look for a staff member to get the check. The distillery might also run out of sugar cane juice, a key ingredient for rum. But these are minor hiccups in an otherwise delightful experience. The cocktails are flavorful and reasonably priced, and the Beef tacos come in large portions and are highly recommended. Despite these minor setbacks, a visit to Chalong Bay Distillery is well worth it.
