RumX tasters call this Samai Flag Series a curious mix of "Fidji fruit exotique" and Worthy Park vibes, with the nose leading on citrus, vegetal, and vanilla, then drifting into floral, woody, and sometimes even slightly medicinal territory. Many highlight an "agrume, vanille, et le bois" trio (Maxime Clr 🇫🇷), while notes of burnt plastic or banana add oddball intrigue. Texture surprises—sometimes mellow, sometimes "more nasty" (DomM), and the cask brings both a pleasing sweetness and a sometimes assertively woody finish. This release keeps folks guessing whether it’s a Jamaican ringer or a singular Cambodian experience.

To Samai
"Interesting and of decent quality. Gives me some Fidji vibes with some dirty/plant-y notes on the nose and palate. Quite some sweetness and vanilla notes from the cask. Finish is a bit to woody/bitter to fully satisfy. Interesting profile nevertheless! Edit after some oxidation: evolved nicely, smoothing out the profile. Gives associations to the 2000 WIRD „Rockley“s, yet a bit more nasty. Same verdict: interesting profile!"
"Exciting profile. It is reminiscent of Fiji and Jamaica (Worthy Park). There is also a pleasant citrus note, which brings a nice freshness. A real surprise and a great rum."
"Cambodia ... somehow artificial the whole thing, with wood, spice and some caramel... I had expected much more. The alcohol is also not so well integrated. I suspect that it will be some time before this rum is ready to be drunk by the general public"
"I'm probably like most people here, there's a lack of Cambodia reference points... On the nose cosmos chemistry set (does anyone else know that 😅), plastic, vanilla, milk cream, fermented fruit, grapefruit. Roasty and spicy on the palate, barrel, tart finish. Really interesting piece!"
