Gin description
This gin is a celebration of some of the best botanicals Vietnam has to offer, black cardamom from the dense jungles in the most Northern part of Vietnam, the rare Buddha’s Hand citrus fruit grown in the capital of Hanoi, Saigon Cinnamon from the Annamite mountain ranges in the central Highlands and Lotus flower from the Mekong Delta. Together with Macedonian Juniper and 9 other local botanicals this makes a remarkable gin. The gin is distilled in Saigon, Vietnam’s most cosmopolitan city. The name Baigur was derived from the first known settlement in this area, a small fish and spice trading outpost. Combined with Saigon, the name Saigon Baigur pays homage to the more than 1000-year-old tradition of spice & botanical trading in the area. Saigon Baigur takes its symbol from the dragon. Not only does this local mythological creature represent power and prosperity, it also brings rain and therefore the dragon is essential to agriculture and the botanicals used in our gin.
