Sông Cái means Mother River. In Vietnamese tradition, all forces of nature, life and spirituality derive from a holistic 'mother river'. Similarly, Sông Cái speaks to multiple elements of Việt Nam, from its agricultural roots to its flourishing cosmopolitan centres.
In 2018, after six years of research into the biodiversity and ethnobotany of rural Việt Nam, Californian distiller and founder Daniel Nguyen collaborated with gatherers and farmers in northern Việt Nam to source botanicals for what would become the first gin ever distilled in the country. Now working with over 70 families, the Sông Cái distillery offers rural communities an incentive to preserve local crops and botanicals.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
