Song Cai Viet Nam Floral Gin (750ML)

Founded in 2018 in Hà Nội, Sông Cái Distillery is Việt Nam’s first gin distillery. Our inaugural release, Sông Cái Việt Nam Dry Gin, is the first gin ever distilled in Việt Nam — using 16 wild hand-foraged botanicals, fruits, flowers, and wood unique to Việt Nam’s Highlands.

The Sông Cái Việt Nam Floral Gin is a celebration of the vast deltas and remote mountains of Việt Nam. A marriage of five distinct flowers — dragon claw flower, ylang ylang, jasmine, michelia alba, and pomelo — the result is a truly unique fresh and floral gin. It is a bold expression of mountain flavors and florals that has earned accolades for its re-imagination of the traditional dry style using Vietnamese ingredients including green turmeric, jungle pepper, black cardamom, and heirloom pomelo, Jasmine, and ylang ylang. Our gin is handcrafted in small batches in a direct fired copper still, resulting in a bold, complex, and particularly rounded flavor. Our botanicals are rare — and our work is environmentally, socially, and culturally sustainable and enriching.

The Vietnamese understanding of nature deals not only with water, land, and sky — but also culture and spirituality. Rooted in this all-encompassing philosophy, Sông Cái Distillery produces terroir-driven spirits that capture the flavors and provenance of Việt Nam’s vast, biodiverse landscape of highlands and deltas. Our name, Sông Cái, comes from the Vietnamese term for “Mother River.” In the Vietnamese tradition, rivers are metaphorically representative of the notion of totality and origin: all forces of nature, life, and spirituality stem and flow from a holistic “Mother River.”  In a similar manner, Sông Cái speaks to multiple elements of Việt Nam, from its agricultural roots to thriving cosmopolitan hubs.

Today, Sông Cái Distillery is a premier Việt Nam distillery creating world class spirits whose product and branding tells a multi-faceted story of Việt Nam.
