Vietnam Dry Gin

• Vietnamese dry gin produced by Sông Cái Distillery in Hanoi, Vietnam
• Native and heirloom Vietnamese botanicals include mắc khén (Indian prickly ash), mác mật fruit, bưởi diễn (pomelo from Diễn village), and vỏ quế (cinnamon bark)
• Juniper sourced from Macedonia; all other botanicals locally sourced in collaboration with Vietnamese highland mountain communities
• Neutral spirit produced from rice and molasses
• Botanicals are grouped by their flavor profiles and volatility, macerated in neutral spirit, and separately distilled before blending
• Distilled in direct-fire copper alembic pot stills
• Huge aromas of piney, citrusy juniper with cinnamon, star anise, tangerine, and lime peel; juniper-like mác mật fruit echoes through the palate with black peppercorn, rosewater, and grapefruit; fresh ginger and prickly ash on a vibrant, piquant finish
• 45% ABV

Vietnam’s flagship Dry expression is a true gin lover’s gin! Unabashedly spicy and citrusy on account of a backbone of juniper and mác mật fruit, its punchy botanical profile makes it the perfect gin for any cocktail application—from Gin & Tonics to dry Martinis—while the proof and spice provide an ideal base for botanically complex cocktails like a Negroni.
