LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A rare gem of the Philippines. Its purity is surprising, offering a refined alternative to more common regional spirits like Lambanog.

The Library Note

Traditionally produced in Butuan City, Laksoy (also known as lacsoy) is made through a meticulous process of fermenting and distilling nipa palm sap. It has been a staple of Filipino celebrations for centuries, representing the ingenuity of using local natural resources to create a sophisticated, high-proof spirit.
