It’s Samai Saturday at Whisky.SG, and we’re excited to invite you on a virtual distillery tour with Samai’s co-founder, Daniel Pacheco.
Cambodia’s first and only premium rum distillery, Samai is the Khmer word for modern. Completely hand-crafted, using high-quality, locally grown ingredients and a process that pays tribute to age-old rum making traditions.
Samai rums are complex and full of character, displaying a flavour profile that reflects the uniqueness of the Cambodian terroir. From the classic Gold Rum, to the distinctive Kampot Pepper, join us today as we explore the Samai Distillery.

- Ice cubes
- 50 mL Samai Kampot Pepper Rum

Enjoy!
