Kai Coconut Pandan Vodka (750 ml)
฿1,189
Kai Coconut Pandan Vodka represents a distinctly Southeast Asian approach to flavored vodka production, sourcing coconut and pandan leaf—a foundational aromatic in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine—as primary infusion botanicals rather than post-distillation flavoring compounds.
Produced in Vietnam, this expression begins with a neutral grain-based vodka foundation, then undergoes botanical maceration with fresh coconut and dried pandan leaf. The infusion method (rather than distillation-based extraction) preserves the delicate, slightly herbaceous character of pandan alongside coconut's creamy sweetness, avoiding the synthetic edge common in mass-market flavored vodkas. No oak aging; the spirit remains unaged to maintain clarity of botanical expression.
Special feature: Pandan's grassy-vanilla undertone—rarely encountered in Western spirits—creates an aromatic profile that bridges savory and sweet, making this vodka distinctly unsuited to conventional cocktail templates and better suited to Southeast Asian-inflected mixing or neat service as a digestif.
Bottled at standard vodka proof (40% ABV). Best consumed fresh; botanical infusions of this type typically maintain optimal aromatic intensity within 2–3 years of bottling.
