Experience the wonder of golden hour with Phraya Rum 

This exceptional rum from Thailand creates magic moments at sunset

Golden hour is one of life’s most extraordinary experiences. As the sun sets, it’s a moment worth savouring.  Phraya Rum, crafted in the Kingdom of Thailand, is inviting you to savour this time with a series of new at-home cocktail recipes designed to be enjoyed during the magical time of day when the sun is low, casting a warm, golden light. Featuring bright, refreshing flavours and elegant presentations, the Phraya golden hour cocktail series is the perfect accompaniment for those fleeting moments when something special is called for. 

Phraya is inviting rum enthusiasts to discover the unparalleled characteristics and superior quality of this exceptional rum. Inspired by ancient oriental philosophy, Phraya represents the union of the four elements: earth, water, fire and air. Distilled at the historic Sansgom Distillery, one of the oldest in Thailand, its unique location offers an abundance of sugarcane alongside unlimited flows of fresh water and a warm climate, all of which contribute to crafting this extraordinary rum.  

Each bringing something special, Phraya’s award-winning range features three expressions: Phraya Rum Elements, Phraya Rum Elements 8 Years and Phraya Deep Matured Gold Rum.  

A moment as special as golden hour deserves an equally remarkable cocktail, and Phraya Rum has created four cocktail recipes to be sipped and savoured as the sun descends.
