Just a sample, but better than expected. I won’t hesitate if someone offers me a glass.

This one intrigued me because it's a 100% pot still rum (which I love) that is aged for at least 2 years in first oak barrels and then sherry casks (also love) in Cambodia. I did not even know that rum was made in Cambodia. A very agreeable rum that has a rich and quite sweet taste but in a way that does come together nicely. Bit suspicious that there might be some sugar added here though, but even if so very well done and let's hope more stuff from Cambodia can come into this market.

Bonne découverte... Cambodgienne! Nez agréable et goût plutôt réussi grâce à distillation de qualité en pot still mais mérite plus de maturité. 🙂🙂

Definitely has a funk, and heavy whiskey bite. I only had a small 50ml taster but I don’t think I’m a fan of jamaican style funky rums.
