Sông Cái Việt Nam Dry Gin
Review
Apart from the juniper, which comes from Macedonia, all of the botanicals included in this Vietnamese gin are grown domestically, and sourced via partnerships between the Sông Cái distillery and various highland communities throughout the nation. Uncommon ingredients such as Indian prickly ash and mác mật fruit provide a citrusy, botanically expressive, and spicy profile. It's not a grand departure from the London Dry style but more of an evolution of the traditional gin profile. Crucially, it doesn’t feel out of place in classic cocktails and instead elevates them.
