Thai firm mulls whisky factory in Cambodia
Thai firm mulls whisky factory in Cambodia
Thou Vireak | Publication date 25 August 2020 | 21:53 ICT
Thailand’s largest agro-industrial company, Kaset Thai International Sugar Corp Pcl (KTIS Group), is interested in investing in a whisky distillery in Cambodia, according to Cambodian Ambassador to Thailand Ouk Sorphorn.
The company expressed its interest during a visit by Sorphorn last week. He was visiting to learn about KTIS Group’s production line of sugar and ethanol refined from sugarcane.
He said during the visit he urged company representatives to expand business operations in Cambodia to take advantage of its special economic zones and the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which will be signed this year.
“In response, KTIS representatives expressed interest in investing in the establishment of a factory in Cambodia to produce spirits,” Sorphorn said.
Chan Davy, the founder of Far East Import Export Co Ltd, a local brewery and whisky exporter incorporated on April 30, 2018, told The Post on Tuesday that such a development would not affect the local market. She said the project would help create job opportunities.
“To my understanding, investing in setting up a distillery in Cambodia will not affect the local alcohol market. We’ll boast more products and better market competition,” she said.

Good news.
Whisky made from sugar? Or they don't like calling it rum?

Whisky made from sugar could be interesting. Rum flavored whisky, maybe?

Been curious about that. Made from sugarcane but labelled a whisky. Know why?

Sorry, no idea why. I have always found it quite strange but nearly all of the whisk(e)y out here is rum.Big Daikon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:35 amBeen curious about that. Made from sugarcane but labelled a whisky. Know why?
Sang som or whatever it's called
The only one actually labeled rum is the Philippines Tanduay rum
