Sông Cái Dry Gin

Produced in Vietnam, Sông Cái is a craft distillery founded by Daniel Nguyen, whose work draws on the country's botanical diversity and longstanding traditions of herbal medicine, agriculture and distillation. Named after the Sông Cái, or Mother River, the distillery works with Vietnamese farmers and foragers to source indigenous botanicals from across the country's varied landscapes. Its dry gin combines traditional gin botanicals, including juniper, with Vietnamese citrus, spices, flowers and aromatic herbs, creating a distinctive expression of the country's botanical heritage. The spirit offers a complex aromatic profile of bright citrus, fragrant spice and fresh herbs, with juniper providing a familiar structural foundation. On the palate, citrus oils and warming spices are balanced by floral aromatics and a persistent herbal finish. Its aromatic complexity makes it particularly well suited to a classic gin and tonic, a Martini or cocktails that allow the botanical character to remain prominent.
