HERBAL KULEN GIN

Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists.

HERBAL KULEN nurtures a selection of roots, spices, and herbs endemic to Cambodia’s tropical savanna climate.

The botanicals used in our craft gin are grown together in our medicinal forest garden on Kulen Mountain, near Beng Mealea Temple. HERBAL KULEN GIN is distilled with organically grown botanicals.

This is what gives HERBAL KULEN GIN its unforgettable identity.

Our distillation process

Once the botanicals are selected and dried from our forest garden, they are brought into Siem Reap at our workshop to be distilled.

The production process consists of several infusions and five distillation steps. All year long, we regularly produce small batches of our gin amounting to a few thousand bottles annually.

Production in small batches allows us to closely inspect and ensure that each bottle of gin brings the spirit to maturity.

Our distilation pot is made for a strict control of the temperature.
