Choeng Doi Distillery has long been on our radar – a place that not only makes some incredible locally sourced spirits, but is also a go-to in Chiang Dao for tours, experiences and tastings.
This month, they have launched a new bartender residency programme, where international bartenders make their way to Chiang Dao for a week, exploring northern Thailand’s raw materials, unique fermentation practices and the relationship between agriculture and cocktail craft.
This Thursday, April 9, the first residency with Anthony Kunz, a Zurich-based bartender at the historic Kronenhalle Bar (one of Europe’s most respected classic cocktail institutions) culminates into a night of specialty cocktails prepared using Choeng Doi Distillery’s signature proofs – namely Choeng Doi Blanc and SONKLIN.
But fear not, you don’t need to travel to Chiang Dao to try them – Anthony Kunz is setting up his shakers at The White Rabbit Bar in Chiang Mai (just off of Chang Phueak Gate) as he presents a four-drink residency menu reflecting the week’s exploration.
This unique chance to taste the work of Kunz is a rare opportunity for the city. However, this is no one-off shindig. With future editions of the residency already planned, Chiang Mai will be welcoming visiting bartenders from around the world for months, maybe years, to come. All thanks to Choeng Doi Distillery.
