Cambodia’s Spirit Revolution
Phnom Penh

Part distillery, part concept bar, MAWSIM is busy putting Cambodia on the world map for premium liquor and cocktails. Housed in a vintage building in Phnom Penh, the outlet functions as a distillery and studio by day and a tasting bar by night.

Guests are greeted by a unique and characterful interior crafted from reclaimed materials – floorboards made from wall panels of old houses, tiles repurposed from doors and tables made of wood salvaged from abandoned villages. Local craftsmanship shines through, especially in the gleaming copper countertops. Yet, the rustic charm is only a backdrop for the real draw here – the drinks. MAWSIM has earned a stellar reputation for unique cocktails, crafted with its award-winning gin infused with a local twist to ensure patrons return time and again.
