Expert Review

8/10

Vietnam's first gin — Sông Cái means 'Mother River', the Red River of Hanoi. Fourteen botanicals including mắc mật berries and leaves (a juniper-like fruit), mắc khén jungle pepper, and đia siêu wood. Distilled in direct-fire copper alembic. A tribute to the farmers along the Red River.
