Bro.. Sangsom is a Rum .Rum is made from by products of sugar cane or sugar beet..(molasses). Thats why rums are typically sweet and spicy.
Whisky is made from grains...such as Barley or Corn.. Blend 285 is a popular Thai whisky made from rice.
I personally like flavoured rum such as Bacardi or Malibu but cannot get used to the flavour of Sangsom . Wish I could cos its such a cheaper option.
The thai way to drink Thai whisky is to have 2 small glasses..1 glass fills with abt 40 ml ( abt 2 shot worth). Another glass is iced water. Drink the whiskey in one shot and followed by the ice water. There was once in Kanchanaburi I was drinking w a few Thais and we were drinking Mekhong that way. I was a bit yaya papaya so drink without the ice water chaser. Need less to say it was not long before I was puking and the head was spinning.
