📜 History

Mekong is Thailand's best-known spirit, produced since 1941 at the Bangyikhan Distillery. Despite being called a whiskey, it is actually distilled from 95% sugarcane molasses and 5% rice, making it more similar to a flavored rum. The Mekong Soda is the most common way to enjoy it, served in virtually every bar and restaurant in Thailand.
