Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I'm not a whisky drinker so that part was lost on me (I did try the 55% proof out of curiosity and nearly burnt my mouth off). However, a walk around the village was very pleasant and you can watch some of the home weavers and there is a vast array of beautifully woven textiles to buy. No pressure though, you can just browse.
For me, the best part is the location as you get great views of the river from the village and of river life activity as you arrive and depart by boat. The river trip part was delightful.

After our Buffet Lunch, our Group took the boat and visited 2 attractions along the Mekong River. This is one of the attractions. Here, they briefly explained how the whisky is produced from fermented rice. It also has a small shop where they weave items for sale.

Small shots of the whisky were distributed to our Group. Others, like me declined the offer, not knowing how my stomach would react to whisky. A couple is our Group brought some to take home.

Interesting: Some Whisky Bottles on display have dead animals inside such as cobra and scorpions. Represented to be good for sex!

Visitors to the village can see the process of making Lao-Lao, which is still done using traditional methods. They can also sample the finished product, which is said to be quite potent!

In addition to its whiskey production, the Whiskey Village is also home to a number of temples and shrines. The village is a popular stop for tourists on their way to the Pak Ou Caves, and it is also a great place to learn about Lao culture.

We kayaked with Tiger Trail Travel and stopped on the way down river from Pak Ou caves.

The Whisky Village, Ban Xang Hai, famous for distilling their own alcohol, made from the sticky rice we have become so accustomed to eating with our every meal here in Laos. They grind it into a powder which they turn into yeast balls, and these are fermented in large blue drums covered with squares of cotton. January is not the harvest season for rice, so it is also not the time for whisky - what we get to taste is last season's product. There is the first whisky, the strong stuff that is the first pass through the still - very potent, this stuff clocks in at a staggering 55 proof! They boil the rice again to make a second whisky. Cloudy and often purple-coloured, depending on the rice used, this whisky is more akin to a sake in flavour: you taste the rice, the alcohol, the fermentation. It's not bad. For the novelty factor, there are bottle of whisky stuffed with snakes, and scorpions, and centipedes in the bottles, which is clearly done for the photo opportunity and the sale. Supposedly, the men in the village drink THAT stuff to make them "stronger".

The whisky-producing area is right off the boat launch, but you can walk further into the village, too. The main corridor leading away from the water is lined with tables where the village women have laid out their scarves and other textiles for sale. It's clear that this village sees a lot of tourist traffic. Some of the women are embroidering cloth by hand, others are weaving on big looms - we learn from our guide that some of these villagers pack up their products in the afternoon and drive into Luang Prabang for the night market, so don't fret if you don;t make your purchases here.

Keep walking through the stalls of scarfs, and you'll emerge out into the village, right in front of their temple. It's a nice visit, beautifully painted and small in comparison to Luang Prabang, but real. It's the only authentic experience in this little village, which has become much too fixated on the tourism industry, welcoming boat-loads of day-trippers doing the Pak Ou Caves every day. My suggestion? Save your money and try the products in Luang Prabang - the visit here was not worth it.

We called in here as part of the itinerary on a boat trip to Pak Ou. It was quite interesting to see the stills making the whisky but this is not unique and the same process can be seen in other places in SE Asia. I visited a similar operation making rice wine in the Dalat Highlands in Vietnam. It's really a marketing opportunity for the village, which has an extensive market with whisky for sale, of course, but also some of the lovely intricate Lao weaving and embroidery.
I did meet a lady another day who comes from this village and she did give me some whisky to taste; a couple of different ones. It was quite palatable but I'm not a whisky drinker, so not really able to comment analytically about quality and taste. Interesting though.
However, one useful thing to note is that if you make it as far as the village square, there is a mnastery which has public toilets. They're squat one though, but any port in a storm, I say! It would be courteous to leave a small tip.

Interesting stop in a village along the Mekong to see rice wine being made and other handicrafts. Very interesting to roam around the village a bit and take it all in.

You will likely visit Whisky Village only if you are taking a boat ride to the Pak Ou Caves. Tourist trap, not much worth buying here. Sticky rice wine - with snakes in the bottles - was an interesting sight.

Unless you are interested in tasting or buying their strange whiskey, I cannot recommend stopping at this village when there is so much more interesting to see in and around Luang Prabang. The main reason anyone stops at Whiskey Village is that the Mekong River boat tours to Pak Ou cave stop at the village for about half an hour before going the rest of the way to the cave. Obviously these stops at the village are a vital part of the village's economy.

We didn't buy the whiskey. We bought the wine. The wines are made from purple sticky rice. The whiskey is 55% alcohol. We bought a small bottle of the red. We were on a private boat and spent a short time trying the different options.

We enjoyed the river trip on the Mekong more than the village itself but, that said, the explanation of the whiskey making process was interesting and the taste an 'experience'!

The village itself has a lot of market stalls and we were told that the prices are less than in Luang Prabang. The temple area was picturesque too.

I think the village 'suffered' by having visited a less tourist oriented village earlier in our trip but, if you're staying in Luang Prabang and not traveling far up he Mekong then it's a good excuse to get out on the river, which is, after all, the main attraction.
