The name SHAKARA comes from the Sanskrit word shakar, which honors the long history of sugar cane cultivation in the Mainland Southeast Asian region since the Neolithic Era.
SHAKARA is a dynamic initiation to the world of aged rums from Thailand, a terroir that holds many hidden gems.
Thailand is one of the largest growers of sugar cane in the world along with Brazil, India and China.
SHAKARA is produced and aged in the central province of Nakhon Pathom. It is a fertile region with a tropical climate that greatly enhances the concentration of flavors in the rum during its long aging process.
A LONG AGING PROCESS
The long aging process of SHAKARA lasts for 12 years and takes place in the tropical climate of Thailand. Aged in ex-Bourbon cask, the combination of high average temperatures and a humidity level between 60% and 80% concentrate the flavors of the rum. The results are a rich and deep palate leading into a long and complex finish, due to a very high angels’ share compared with rums aged in continental climates\
