FCC Angkor by Avani - Herbal Kulen Gin - Guest Experience |
Nestled in the foothills of the Kulen Mountains, Herbal Kulen Gin is the brainchild of Pari, whose dedication to restoring Cambodia’s natural landscapes through ethical and sustainable practices has resulted in a premium handcrafted gin. The gin’s unique flavour profile is shaped by botanicals cultivated in the medicinal forest garden Pari has nurtured. Distilled in small batches of just 180 bottles, the gin pays tribute to the vibrant Cambodian ecosystem and its rich traditions. FCC Angkor by Avani guests can visit the home of Herbal Kulen Gin and take a tour around the lush gardens and distillery, before a private gin tasting with owner Pari.
In addition, Avani invites guests to experience Cambodia’s vibrant spirit through a series of cocktail offerings at Scribe Bar. These special drinks, crafted with Herbal Kulen Gin, offer a taste of Cambodia, combining sustainable practices with bold, regional flavours. Signature cocktails include the Cambodian Negroni, a fusion of Herbal Kulen Gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, and the Apsara Sour, an homage to regional botanicals, featuring Herbal Kulen Gin, butterfly pea tea, lemongrass syrup and lime juice.
Pari explains the importance of sustainability to her craft: “Our journey began at Beng Mealea, where the untouched beauty of nature inspired us to establish Herbal Kulen at the foothills of Phnom Kulen. By cultivating lemongrass and citronella in deforested areas, we aimed to not only produce essential oils and gin, but to also revive the land. Every bottle of Herbal Kulen Gin reflects our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.”
FCC Angkor by Avani is an integral part of this vision, with its rich history, lush surroundings, and proximity to the river that flows from the Kulen Mountains. Pari continues, “Working with FCC Angkor by Avani is a nostalgic return to Siem Reap's roots. The hotel’s deep connection to the land, along with its unique place in history, aligns with our goal of sharing the best of Cambodia’s natural and cultural heritage with travellers.”
