Liquor identification and background needed

[tino27]

Some friends of mine were cleaning out the apartment of a dear friend who had passed on when they found these two bottles of liquor.

This one is apparently from Venezuela:

And this one we really can't figure out because none of us were sure what language was even on the bottle:

Can anyone out there help me to identify what each of these liquors is and provide links or any background information you might have?

Thanks!!

The first is Ron Cacique - Tasting notes are available here: http://www.ministryofrum.com/rumdetails.php?r=292

The second looks like Mekhong from Thailand. They call it whiskey, but it's more of a herbal rum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mekhong_whiskey

Hope this helps.

So that's Mekhong whiskey. Had no idea.

Been singing along to that Pogues song since high school ("oh, she gave me Mekhong whiskey, oh she gave me Hong Kong flu, but me on a bus to Kathmandu"). Had no idea he was singing about a particular type of spirit.

Mekong makes for a pretty interesting Cuba Libre variation (Mexican coke, lime, bitters). Not for all tastes, to be sure, but then, what is?
