The name Sông Cái translates as "mother river", paying homage to the cradle of Vietnamese civilisation (a universal concept in Việt Nam) as well as to the typically Vietnamese spiritual relationship with the land: all the elements come from nature and are interwoven with it. On the label, flowers, birds and swirling patterns underline the spirit of spring and the captivating scents of flowers in Floral Gin.

Sông Cái Distillery

For the Vietnamese, nature is not just about water, land and sky, but also about culture and spirituality. Rooted in this all-encompassing philosophy, Sông Cái Distillery produces terroir-driven spirits that capture the flavours and provenance of the vast, biodiverse landscape of the highlands and deltas of Việt Nam. Sông Cái's spirits are distilled in hand-hammered direct-fire copper stills, a traditional technique that captures flavours and aromas authentically.
