The 12 Son Tinh flavours
Vietnam in a glass! These 12 unique flavours of fragrant rice, local fruits and traditional herbs and spices have already mesmerized many connoisseurs and spirits professionals. Used straight, as aperitif/digestive, as a surprising alternative to other fragrant/aromatic clear spirits, and , last but not least, adding that exotic touch to surprising cocktails.
Bạch Sâm (White Ginseng)
Ginseng has been valued for thousands of years for its invigorating and enhancing properties. Only 6-year old Korean White Ginseng is used in Son Tinh Bach Sam, giving it a light yellow colour and a deep earthy character.
Táo Mèo (Rose Apple)
Tao Meo is an increasingly rare fruit growing wild in Vietnam’s northern mountains. Despite its appearance it is actually the fruit of a rose plant. This mix of fruit and flower is evident in Son Tinh Tao Meo’s infatuating flavour.
Mơ Vàng (Apricot)
Vietnam’s varieties of apricot are very close to their wild origin and thus still preserve an authentic fragrance. Son Tinh Mo Vang is a perfect summer drink but can also be drunk in cooler weather as a palate cleanser.
Mận Đỏ (Red Plum)
A combination of several local varieties of plum are used to craft Son Tinh Man Do. Most delicious and renowned for their deep red colour are the “Ta Van” plums which are grown in the mountain regions of Lao Cai province.
Chanh Leo (Passion Fruit)
Son Tinh Chanh Leo captures the exotic flavour of passion fruits from the southern highland regions around Da Lat.
Zesty sourness with a smooth fruity aftertaste bearing notes of honey.
Minh Mạng
Vietnam’s most famous herbal liquor is associated with the name of Emperor Minh Mang who lived in the 19th century. Boasting in excess of 140 children bears testimony to his fondness for invigorating liquor.
Mỹ Tửu
The name of this liquor is inspired by the beauty of Vietnam’s mountain forests which are home to a vast diversity of fragrant herbs. Careful selection and preparation of these herbs are the secret to creating this sophisticated liquor.
Mộc Sa Pa
The formula for this herbal liquor was developed and refined by experienced and knowledgeable herbalists in Sa Pa, the “Cloud City”, which is located in the mountainous far north of Vietnam.
Nhất Dạ
The formula for this herbal liquor was created in the tradition of truly stimulating and invigorating Vietnamese bitters.
As the name (“One Night”) suggests, its energizing effects are mostly felt after sunset.
Vương Tửu
This herbal concoction is based on a traditional recipe produced for a Chinese empress. The Empress was renowned for her virility and joy of life, which is reflected in this full-bodied, complex liquor.
Nếp Cẩm (Red Sticky Rice Port)
Both the method of production and the taste of Son Tinh Nep Cam are similar to Portuguese port wine. Red sticky rice fermented with local yeast is used for a wide range of very traditional dishes and drinks.
Nếp Phú Lộc (Phu Loc Sticky Rice Liquor)
Using fragrant sticky rice from the Red River Delta this liquor is obtained by slow distillation in a copper still, which allows the vapour to retain the complex and subtle aroma of the rice.
