Worst spirit/liqour in Thailand?

**MagicLeaves** · 29-07-2007, 04:46 PM

- for some reason I decided to buy a bottle of 'John Langer' the other day

distilled pigs urine tastes better I'm sure, still at 195B a bottle it's hardly surprising - gotta be the worst I've come across here yet and it's likely to end up down the sink

any cheap 'whiskies' here that are more palatable?

What's cheap? I think 100 Pipers is OK. Some people like Benmore (sp?) better. I think they're both around 300 baht for 700 ml.

we still got a few cases of stuff stilled out back in the shop,, 50 baht a bottle. and it getting some age on it as it has been here sometime, no one I know will drink it..

Master Blend is okay, hell they are probably all ok if you drown them in coke, but I prefer soda.

Same here. Never tried Master Blend. Maybe that's my next bottle.

I reckon Samg son is ok for a cheap drink.

Does DD inject Chang, or not, late at night?

**sabang** · 29-07-2007, 10:38 PM

Actually that Regency brandy ain't a bad drop, at the price.

100 pipers is at least genuinely scotish. The stuff in the 150 baht - 250 baht range is either locally made or from India or somewhere.

Aye, Regency and Sang Som are a good tipple.

The Lao kAo with the light blue label from 7-11 etc is absolutley horrific.
Anybody that drinks that, i will avoid.

**bkkpirate** · 30-07-2007, 05:58 PM

I'll stick with 100 Pipers. The Regency and Sang Som reminds me of the random alcohol content I got from San Miguel and Red Horse in the RPI twenty years ago.

**MagicLeaves** · 30-07-2007, 06:46 PM

..down the sink it went - couldn't give the stuff away

definitely the worst I've come across in LOS so far

**geoff** · 02-08-2007, 11:51 PM

Why all the fuss???

After the first 15, they all taste the same.

**Texpat** · 03-08-2007, 01:38 AM

I thought Sang Som was rum, not whisky.....? It's not too bad.

I also like Mekong whiskey -- which tazstes like rum. Very cheap too.

**ch1ldofthemoon** · 03-08-2007, 02:37 AM

I took 6 bottles of Lao kAo back to London,couple of years ago.Gave it all away to people I know and told them it was Thai Tequila.
Far as I know, it was all thrown down the toilet and everyone asked me NOT to bring anymore for them, as it is crap !

that's a rhetorical question, right?

LOL... We're talking about cheap booze that's JUST beyond the absolute worst hog piss you can find. Genuinely Scottish is just about of the least concern.

That said, I completely don't do 100 Pipers, not because it's not Scottish but because it tastes TERRIBLE. They obviously tried to approximate a 'whisky' type taste & smell and it's horrific. Horrific disgusting illnesses the next morning, too. ("Illness", not hangover; I can accept hangovers but not what follows drinking more than a sip of 100 Pipers.)

Has anyone tried Karinthip and Hong Thong? They're a little cheaper than Sang Som but I'm scared to try them.

Lao kao smells and tastes bad but its cousin
Lao Tom(sp?) ... the home distilled stuff, ain't bad at all

ai, but i find if i drink them - i end up breaking out in a 'orrible red rash (not itchy, no pain) but i look like a typhoid victim or something for a couple of hours!

that cannot be a good thing!

Indeed. And it's VERY suitable to make Ya Dong (herbal liquor) by adding the herbs & spices and let it sit for a while.

**Marmite the Dog** · 04-08-2007, 04:06 AM

Chang Draught is the most awful, gassy shit I have ever tasted. Never again...

**MagicLeaves** · 04-08-2007, 07:19 PM

try some John Langer - distilled urinal waste

Is that the shit that they insert a couple of Tha Khap centipedes in and try to assimilate the mex trick with the worm??

**kk boy** · 18-08-2007, 04:43 PM

Sato, home made rice liquor in Isaan, horrible and gives a terrible hangover, even my eyes were sore the next day
