Vietnam Floral Gin

• Vietnamese gin produced by Sông Cái Distillery in Hanoi, Vietnam
• Native and heirloom Vietnamese botanicals include pomelo blossom, jasmine, ylang ylang, ngọc lan (white jade orchid), and móng rồng (tail grape)
• 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
• Orange blossom, tart black cherry, white tea, and jackfruit on the nose precede a lush palate of jasmine pearls, orange peel, pink peppercorn, and elderflower with pomelo peel, bee pollen, and a touch of tropical lychee sweetness on the finish
• 45% ABV

Traditionally, Vietnam enjoys celebrations on the 1^st and 15^th of every month revolving around the harvesting of flowers to decorate family altars and perfume homes. Sông Cái Floral Gin is a contemporary dry gin that celebrates this native flora. Enjoy this delightful expression simply on the rocks or with soda, as well in cocktails such as a Ramos Gin Fizz, a White Negroni, or an Aviation without the polarizing crème de violette!
