Peppercorn fire meets tropical fruit—Cambodian rum with a spicy twist. Samai Kampot Pepper Premium Cambodian Rum is a category-first release that marries aged rum with the bold, fragrant spice of red Kampot peppercorns. Crafted in Phnom Penh by Samai Distillery, this spirit is macerated with whole peppercorns after ageing for up to three years, then rested in stainless steel to allow its spice and sweetness to harmonise. The result? A rum that’s fresh, vibrant, and genuinely unlike anything else in the bottle.
Distilled from local sugarcane molasses using a hybrid pot and column system, this rum shows off Cambodian terroir in full voice. The red Kampot pepper—internationally prized for its floral aroma and balanced heat—adds aromatic lift and a subtle tingle that lingers long after the last sip. Expect sweet notes of guava and eucalyptus with a tingling, zesty finish. An excellent sipper for the adventurous, and a creative weapon behind the bar for riffs on Daiquiris, Dark & Stormies, or Negronis.
