A Bold Fusion of Cambodian Red Pepper and Aged Rum for a Unique, Flavorful Kick.
“First Rum Distillery in Cambodia” – A Journey of Fusion and Exploration
In the heart of Phnom Penh, where tradition meets innovation, emerges Samai – Cambodia’s first and only premium rum distillery. “Samai,” a Khmer word meaning ‘new generation,’ encapsulates the spirit of a brand deeply rooted in Cambodian culture yet driven by the curiosity to explore and discover.
The journey began in 2014 when Venezuelan entrepreneurs, Daniel Pacheco and Antonio Lopez de Haro, questioned why Cambodia, with its abundance of high-quality sugarcane, was not crafting its own rums. Joined by Ms. Moang Darachampich, an undiscovered talent and Cambodia’s inaugural Master Distiller, fueled by this curiosity, they set forth on a mission to establish Cambodia’s first premium rum distillery from the ground up—a venture destined to redefine the rum landscape in the region.
Samai pays homage to age-old rum-making traditions while embracing a fusion of Latin American and Asian influences. The distillery, situated in the ideal climate of Cambodia, sources high-quality, locally grown ingredients such as fine molasses, red Kampot pepper, and natural Cambodian honey. This unique blend of Cambodian flavors and Latino American distillation methods results in Samai rums – complex, full of character, and a source of national pride.
With every sip of Samai rum, you’re not just tasting a premium blend; you’re savoring the essence of a brand that honors its roots, embraces diversity, and continues to evolve. Cheers to new beginnings, to exploration, and to the vibrant fusion of cultures in every drop of Samai – the first generation of rum in Cambodia.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Exquisite scent of fresh kampot pepper.
Palate: Notes of guava, eucalyptus and a pleasant crispy aroma of fresh Kampot Pepper.
Finish: Long finish with characteristic flavour of the Red Kampot Pepper.
Ouch … extraordinaire. C’est ultra frais et un poivré subtil! Produit exceptionnel
Perfekt 👍👍
On est plus sur un alcool macéré que sur un rhum , mais ça reste original
Samtidigt kan knappast kallas för rom. Den absolut äckligaste smakupplevelsen någonsin kallad ron. Hembränt är mycket godare.
😵💫☠️🤮
Really good, lovely
On goûte bien le poivre mais sans que cela prenne le dessus sur les autres arômes.
This one is a stunner, strong flower honey taste spiced up a bit with a nice peppery kick. Nice surprise and very unique. Thx
Aroma: pepř, citronová tráva kdesi v pozadí
Chuť: pepř, cukrová třtina
Závěr: dlouhý peprný závěr s nenápadnými tóny ovoce v pozadí
Kdo má rád pepř, přijde si na své, já mezi takové lidi patřím a proto musím uznat že mi to chutná, i když nutno podotknout že krom toho pepře by tam mohlo být cítit i něco jiného. A proto dávám 6/10
Tres fruite fort et doux excellent en bouche
Une fraîcheur un délice pas trop épicé cette mono épicé fait ressortir un final boisé
Nicht Rum wie ich ihn mag, aber etwas Spezielles!
This is an experiment, not bad, but totally different and sweet taste from other Rums
Good pepper taste. Great neet
Sweet rum with a medium pepper taste. Refreshing and spicy. An interesting sipping rum.
Absolutly great before the pepper comes 😍
This is really a good Rum. I like on how the pepper explodes in the mouth from and with the sweetness is really a good combination. I really like the Rum. I recommend it 100% .
This is with all respect not my cup of tea. To me it tastes a bit like medicine
Lieblicher Rum mit scharfem, pfeffrigen Abgang
Svag duft
For meget pebersmag
Je to něco jiného, koupil bych flašku – ale není – mají jenom tyhle malé vzorky
Vynikajicí překvapení .Zatím můj favorit.
Komplex, mit leichter Pfefferschärfe und holzigen Süße.
Exotisch, anders, aber sehr angenehm.
Den er alternativ
Maji ho zde za 1690 Kc:

Very nice rum. Love the pepper.
Smells like raisin, yet a stingy peppar flavour..
This is exactly how Rum should NOT taste… No! No! No!
Süß im Geschmack, zu pfefferig im Abgang
Le poivre prend trop le dessus, limite un rhum arrangé. La finale relèverait presque la note.
Je n’ai pas aimé,
Original avec une 1ere approche poivré mais maîtriser et un retour un peu fruité une belle découverte
Very good
