Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Gin was launched in 2019 by SPC Gins' founders, Neil and Suphunsa, who live in Anglesey, North Wales. Suphunsa's father, Chalerm Jarrenpap, lives in Thailand and would often make a drink with Thai clear whiskey, lemongrass, mango and soda water, and this was the inspiration for the Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Gin recipe.

The Gin Guide Review
Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Gin is vibrant, fruity and exotic. Fresh mango flavours deliver prominent fruitiness and sweetness, balanced with plentiful citrus and earthy, peppery spice which develops through the finish. Juniper and classic gin botanicals provide a traditional base underlying the contemporary flavours inspired by Thailand. When mixed with tonic, these classic botanicals are elevated to give further balance, and lime and/or ginger make for ideal G&T garnish starting points. Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Gin also makes for an exotic twist on a Gimlet or Gin-Gin Mule. - Paul Jackson, 2020

MEET THE MAKER

"Our first gin, Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Gin, was inspired by my wife’s father, Chalerm Jarrenpap, in Thailand. He would often make us an alcoholic drink with Thai clear whiskey, lemongrass, mango and soda water. There were a few other ingredients, but it’s a secret family recipe! It was from this drink that we developed our great tasting gin."
- Founders, Neil & Suphunsa
