Raw material and flavour

Fresh cane aroma preserved by low-temperature vacuum distillation.

UT-3 sugarcane is hand-harvested and pressed once without dilution. Wine-yeast fermentation is followed by low-temperature vacuum batch distillation, then stainless-steel resting rather than oak ageing.

This page describes the current 42% / 750 ml expression, not the discontinued 40% / 700 ml version.

From field to bottle

Distil cool, then give the spirit time without oak.

Press and ferment

First-press cane juice ferments with wine yeast for approximately 72–96 hours.

Vacuum distil

A 1,500-litre stainless batch still works at reduced pressure to retain delicate aroma.

Rest and reduce

The spirit rests in stainless steel, then is slowly reduced to 42% with local groundwater managed by a neighbouring temple.

Inside the glass

Floral cane, soft sweetness and a clean, creamy line.

A grape-like fruity aroma leads into fresh cane, gentle sweetness and a smooth, lightly creamy palate. The finish rises cleanly through the nose with floral lift.

How to serve

A white rum for both direct tasting and clean cocktails.

Neat or on ice

Shows the cane's freshness and the texture created by stainless resting.

Unsweetened Ti' Punch

Lime sharpens the floral cane character without covering it with sugar.

Mojito

Its clean distillate gives mint and lime a precise base.

Food affinities

Floral aroma and a smooth, light body, in four directions

The food affinities for LAODI White Rhum are not combinations officially presented by the producer, but a reading drawn from the characteristics recorded on this page. Built around the grape-like floral aroma and the light, softly creamy texture preserved by low-temperature vacuum distillation and stainless-steel resting, they are organised into four directions.

Grape-like aroma meeting white-wine-style dishesWhite fish steamed in white wine, hor mok (Thai steamed fish custard), mussels steamed in white wine. The bright grape-like aroma overlaps with the aroma of dishes steamed with white wine.

A light, creamy texture alongside gentle startersChawanmushi (savoury egg custard), pu op woon sen (crab and glass noodles), burrata cheese. The light, creamy texture preserved by stainless-steel resting sits alongside starters with gentle umami, matching in texture.

Gentle sweetness meeting citrus aromaYuzu agar jelly, yam som o (pomelo salad), grapefruit granita. The gentle sweetness runs in the same direction as the fresh aroma of citrus.

A light finish alongside delicate broth-based dishesYuba (tofu skin) clear soup, tom kha gai (chicken in coconut soup), consommé. The light finish sits alongside dishes built on delicate broth, matching in weight.

Food-pairing theory holds that a light-bodied spirit tends to harmonise with dishes of matching weight. These suggestions are a hypothesis built on that structural cue, and are not an official recommendation from the producer

The maker

Fresh sugarcane, distilled in the landlocked heart of Laos.
