Saigon Baigur Gin is the first premium dry gin distilled in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This gin combines local botanicals with traditional gin ingredients to create a unique and refreshing flavor profile. It is named after the first known settlement in the area, Baigur, which was an ancient trading post for fish and spices.

What makes Saigon Baigur Gin unique is its combination of 12 local botanicals with classic gin ingredients. The most prominent components include:

• Buddha's Hand: A citrus fruit grown in Hanoi, which gives the gin a distinct citrus aroma.
• Vapour-infused Lotus Flower: A symbol of Vietnam, contributing to the delicate floral notes.
• Saigon Cinnamon: Cinnamon from the Annamite Mountains, which adds a spicy touch.
• Black Cardamom: A strong and aromatic spice from the dense jungles of northern Vietnam.
• Dragon Fruit, Star Anise, Lemongrass, and Bird's Eye Chili: These ingredients add sweet, spicy, and citrus notes to the gin that are characteristic of Vietnamese cuisine.

The gin is distilled in a copper still called "Saigon Thunder", which was installed on a stormy day during the monsoon season. The bottle is inspired by dragon scales, which symbolizes power, prosperity and rainwater, which is essential for agriculture and the botanicals used in gin.

Saigon Baigur Gin is ideal for preparing a variety of cocktails or to be enjoyed with tonic, where its rich and complex flavors can best stand out.
