Alongside classic Chang and Singha beers, the evening culminated with pours of Thailand’s first premium single malt: Prakaan Single Malt Whisky (Select Cask). Drawing its distinct character from the pristine natural mineral waters of the lush Western Forest Complex in Kamphaeng Phet, Prakaan represents a proud piece of Thai heritage. The Select Cask expression—matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks to deliver a rich, smooth profile with notes of tropical fruits, honey, and vanilla—has rapidly gained global recognition. It was named a ‘Category Winner’ at the World Whiskies Awards 2025 and recently secured a Gold medal at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, proving that Thai craftsmanship now stands firmly on the world stage.
