The Process
Every bottle of Lamai Thai Spirits is the result of a meticulous, hands-on process guided by both tradition and precision.
01 — Sourcing
We begin at the farm. Our master distiller travels to select partner farms across Thailand to handpick the finest locally grown botanicals, grains, and ingredients. Every raw material is assessed for quality, freshness, and flavour potential before it ever enters our facility.
02 — Preparation
Ingredients are cleaned, processed, and prepared in-house. Grains are milled to precise specifications. Botanicals are weighed and sorted by hand. Water is filtered and conditioned to our exact standards. This stage sets the foundation for everything that follows.
03 — Fermentation
Using carefully selected yeast cultures, we ferment our wash in temperature-controlled vessels. The fermentation schedule is monitored closely — we believe this stage is where the character of a spirit is first born. We never rush it.
04 — Distillation
Our small copper pot still is where the magic happens. We distil in single small batches, making careful cuts to retain only the finest heart of the run. The heads and tails are set aside — only the best makes it into a Lamai bottle.
05 — Maturation & Resting
Depending on the expression, spirits are rested in oak casks or in stainless steel vessels to allow flavours to marry and mellow. We believe in patience — the spirit is ready when it tells us it is ready, not when the calendar says so.
06 — Bottling
Every bottle is filled, sealed, labelled, and inspected by hand in our bottling room. We bottle at carefully chosen strengths to best express each spirit’s character. A final quality check is carried out before any bottle is approved for release.
