Prakan Single Malt Whisky was born in Kamphaeng Phet, a town in north-central Thailand rich in natural beauty. Here, crystal-clear spring water slowly filters into underground reservoirs, providing the ideal environment for crafting premium whiskey. Kamphaeng Phet is one of Thailand's oldest cities, a key juncture of prosperous times and renowned for its impressive city walls. For centuries, these walls have served as an impregnable defense for the Kingdom of Thailand. Prakan Single Malt Whisky celebrates the social and cultural significance of this proud history, paying homage to this iconic city and its venerable walls and carrying its legacy into the future. This whiskey is meticulously distilled and aged in Thailand, crafted by proud artisans who combine nature with centuries of whiskey-making tradition and passion.
