The bottler took its pair of nine-year-old Thai rums — the floral Kinnara and its oakier sibling Kinnaree, each aged five years in Thailand and four in the UK — and married them in this two-barrel blend at 55% ABV (110 proof).

Raising Glasses chose her name for the blend of its two Thai casks as a celebration of Thai identity and acceptance, and 5% of profits go to Thailand's Love Foundation.
