The Story Behind Our Exclusive Gin Boxes

Every Mekong Gin Society box is curated with a single intention: to transform an ordinary night in Phnom Penh into a moment worth savouring. Gin culture is exploding across the world, from the boutique clubs of London and New York to the private societies of Tokyo — so why shouldn’t Cambodia have its own standard-setting gin community? Phnom Penh is vibrant, international and endlessly curious, and our boxes reflect that exact energy. They’re a celebration of craftsmanship, culture and wanderlust, delivered straight to your door.

What sets our boxes apart is the thought that goes into every element. Each one begins with a standout gin — something rare, innovative or regionally expressive — and builds outwards into a complete tasting experience. Beyond the main bottle, members receive accessories, snacks, cigars, mixers, stories and even invitations, all chosen to elevate how they explore gin at home. Nothing is random. Everything is curated.

Three Levels of Membership: Designed for Every Explorer

To help members shape the experience that suits them, we imagine our future boxes falling into three distinct levels. These are not just tiers — they’re moods, lifestyles and different expressions of passion for great gin.

The Explorer Box

Perfect for newcomers or casual enthusiasts who want to discover quality gin without feeling overwhelmed.
Sample contents:

• 1 featured premium gin (50–70cl)

• 2–3 craft tonic mixers selected to match the month’s gin

• A taster bottle of an alternative or contrasting gin

• Aromatic garnishes or botanicals

• Snack pairing such as dried fruits, nuts or Cambodian treats

• A small printed insert with tasting notes and serving suggestions

This box keeps things simple, accessible and fun — ideal for those just beginning their journey.

The Connoisseur Box

For Phnom Penh’s rising gin lovers who want to deepen their knowledge and explore more adventurous flavours.
Sample contents:

• 1 rare or limited-release gin

• 1–2 craft tonics that pair perfectly (we will source hard-to-find mixers on request)

• 1 speciality mixer (soda, cold-brew tonic, yuzu tonic, etc.)

• A premium garnish set (citrus wheels, pepper, herbs)

• A piece of barware (jigger, spoon, muddler, or glassware)

• Small-batch Cambodian snacks

• A beautifully printed mini-magazine featuring cocktail recipes, interviews and gin history

This tier represents the heart of the Mekong Gin Society — expert curation with a touch of indulgence.

The Prestige Box

Designed for members who want something that feels private, personal and truly high-end.
Sample contents:

• A luxury gin: wood-matured, ultra-small batch, or released exclusively for our society

• 3–4 craft tonics and mixers, including rare imports

• Cigar pairing such as a Monte Cristo or special-edition cigar

• A limited-edition bar accessory or glassware piece

• An invitation to a members-only tasting event in Phnom Penh

• Priority access to unique projects, such as custom wood-matured gin for anniversaries or product launches

• Member-suggested items: botanicals, chocolate, pepper, or regional flavours

This box is an experience — one that reflects the sophistication Phnom Penh’s gin scene is now capable of.

Why Phnom Penh Deserves a Gin Society of This Level

Phnom Penh is no longer an emerging city — it’s an international hub filled with creative entrepreneurs, world travellers, food lovers and curious drinkers. Cambodian consumers are increasingly exploring premium spirits, boutique bars and international flavours. What has been missing is the kind of organised, thoughtful gin culture that the USA and Europe have enjoyed for years.

The Mekong Gin Society is here to change that.

With every box, we’re building a community of people who appreciate quality, craft and the joy of tasting something rare. We celebrate both global excellence and local innovation, bringing Southeast Asian botanicals into the conversation and showcasing Cambodian artisans whenever possible.

A Box That Feels Like a Celebration

Every delivery feels like opening the door to a small, perfectly curated moment: a new gin to explore, a mixer you’ve never tried, a garnish that changes everything, a cigar waiting for a quiet evening, or an invitation that leads to new friendships.

This is more than a subscription.
It’s a ritual. A pause.
A reminder that life tastes better when we take the time to enjoy it.

And Phnom Penh — with its rooftop sunsets, hidden bars, creative energy and global spirit — deserves exactly that.
