Phnom Penh, Cambodia · May 2023
Cooling System Failure
Temperature was visible during production, but it was neither recorded nor tied to an alert.
On 29 May 2023, Batch 50, a Seekers Mekong Dry Gin run on the 2000L still, failed post-production quality control. The failure was detected 14 days later. By then, botanicals for a second run had already been staged, but preparation was halted, limiting the blast radius to one batch.
