The Roselle Beginning
A contemporary Thai gin.
Distilled in Phrae.
At King Marloon, we don’t just craft gin; we distill a narrative that reflects our essence. Our micro-distillery is nestled in the quiet province of Phrae, a serene corner of Northern Thailand.
We aren’t here to merely recreate a London Dry or adhere strictly to European regulations. Instead, we set out to distill a gin that truly embodies who we are: playful, bold, and deeply rooted in our home.
Our gin begins with a clear spirit meticulously produced from local Thai rice and cane sugar.
This pure foundation is then infused with a vibrant, hand-selected blend of Thai and international botanicals. This includes roselle flower, makwaen pepper, tangerine peel, coriander seed, green cardamom, and many more unique components.
The result is The Roselle Beginning: a Contemporary / New Western-style gin that offers a distinctly surprising experience.
It presents complex aromatics, a multifaceted flavor profile, and a balanced character.
We introduce this unique profile to offer a modern dimension to gin.
But our story doesn’t end with The Roselle Beginning. We’re constantly exploring, pushing the boundaries of what gin can be.
Our next chapter will bring you a classic dry gin – clean, familiar, and refined.
It’s for those who appreciate tradition as much as they do innovation, a nod to the timeless elegance of gin while retaining our unique King Marloon touch.
It’s not just gin; it’s a spirit crafted slow, from a place that’s easy to overlook, yet impossible to forget.
Welcome to the world of King Marloon.
Meet our inaugural creation, The Roselle Origin—a New Western-style gin meticulously distilled in Phrae, Northern Thailand. This isn’t just another gin; it’s a vibrant exploration of flavors, crafted to surprise and delight.
The journey of The Roselle Origin begins with a crisp white spirit, distilled from local rice and cane sugar. This pure foundation is then infused with a bold, hand-selected blend of botanicals, each playing a crucial role in its unique character:
Juniper berries: The heart of any true gin.
Dried roselle petals: Infusing a signature floral and tart note.
Tangerine peel: Adding bright, refreshing citrus zest.
Makwaen (Thai wild pepper): Delivering a distinctive, aromatic warmth and subtle spice.
Cinnamon & Green cardamom: Contributing layers of sweet and exotic spice.
Coriander seed: Providing a hint of savory, earthy balance.
And more: A subtle array of other botanicals to round out its complexity.
The result is a gin that strikes a perfect balance: it’s floral yet robust, spiced but never overwhelming.
On the nose: You’ll discover enchanting notes of hibiscus and vibrant citrus.
On the palate: It gracefully settles into a warm, inviting spice mid-palate.
The finish: A clean, lingering taste with a subtle hint of the wild Thai forest.
The Roselle Origin is designed for every occasion—perfect for sipping neat, crafting imaginative cocktails, or simply discovering something new with each pour.
This isn’t a copy of something old. It’s the beginning of something uniquely ours, inviting you to experience the true spirit of King Marloon.
I started King Marloon in Phrae, northern of Thailand back in 2024 with just a small still and the will to introduce something different. By 2025, our first spirit was ready.
Being small means we can experiment, refine, and pour our man craft into every batch. What we create is not just a new spirit, but a taste that reflects Thailand’s ingredients and creativity.
King Marloon may be young, but it carries the soul of Thai craftsmanship—bottled for you to enjoy.
