‘Tahitian lime pulp, dried coconut, a slice of pineapple, pine nut kernels, a pinch of fresh turmeric and lemon grass – whilst you may be fooled into thinking this is the recipe for a tropical gourmet mocktail, GHAITH is anything but. From the tropical rainforests of northern Malaysia it is a sublime Oudh. From the Arabic meaning ‘rain’, Ghaith refers to a bountiful heavy rain which is beneficial and precedes healthy crops. Distilled in 2018 in Kelantan Malaysia Ghaith was produced from Oudhs collected in the Dabong region. Dabong is a treasured little spot where two of the major rivers of the Kelantan state; River Pergau and River Galas meet, making this area rich and abundant in water and flood deposits. At first scent of Ghaith you immediately appreciate the impact good soil and water supply have on the scent. Whilst we have distilled many Oudhs from the surrounding jungles in Kelantan Ghaith debuts many fine nuances that I attribute to the fertile location. There is a level of excellence and finesse at play; the small bits of detail that set apart the master suit from the pile, the crisp crease in a steam ironed shirt and the sparkle of a fine cut jewel.‘ – Al Shareef Oudh
