Laksoy

Laksoy (also spelled lacsoy), is a traditional Filipino distilled nipa palm liquor. It is derived from tubâ (palm toddy) made from nipa palm sap which has been aged for at least 48 hours. It originates from Eastern Mindanao, the Visayas Islands, (where it is known as dalisay or dalisay de nipa), the Bicol Region (where it is known as barik), and Southern Luzon (where it is known as lambanog or lambanog sa sasa). During the Spanish colonial period, it was also known as vino de nipa in Spanish. It has a typical alcohol content of 70 to 100 proof (40 to 45% abv) after a single distillation.
