It all started in Chiang Mai, the capital of the ancient Lanna Kingdom Siam Lanna Gin’s story began in 2007 when Nikolaus “Niki” Prachensky founded a craft distillery in Chiang Mai, the capital of Thailand’s ancient Lanna Kingdom. Using a German Copper Christian Carl Pot-Still and local fragrant rice, a variety of herbs, botanicals, and flower petals, Prachensky created several award-winning Gin recipes.
In 2019, he traveled to Italy and was inspired to blend Italian herbs with the botanicals he used in Chiang Mai, resulting in the creation of the fragrant and smooth Siam Lanna Gin.
