Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh pine and citrus peels — subtle leafy notes with enticing undertone of smokey black cardamom, the Vietnamese terroir immediately distinctive

Palate

Beautifully honeyed citrus character — pomelo sweetness with peppery jungle pepper notes developing into warming finish, Mắc Mật berries adding unique Vietnamese fruit complexity, juniper supporting rather than leading

Finish

Riptide of cardamom spice — warm wood and soft tannins lingering long, dry woody veneer from Đia Siêu wood, the sixteen Vietnamese botanicals creating something entirely new in gin

Expert Review

8/10

Vietnam's first ever gin — sixteen indigenous botanicals including Mắc Mật berries, Mắc Khén jungle pepper, Diễn pomelo and Đia Siêu wood. Smokey black cardamom, honeyed citrus, and a riptide of cardamom spice finishing in dry woody veneer. A Craft Gin Club Gin of the Month.
