Saigon Baigur is Vietnam’s first premium dry gin, distilled in Ho Chi Minh City with an adventurous blend of 12 local botanicals and four classic gin staples. Bold, exotic and beautifully presented, it’s a gin like no other.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Citrus and florals rise on the nose with fresh juniper and subtle spice. Smooth yet complex on the palate, citrus and juniper give way to vibrant spice at the back. The finish is crisp, earthy and lightly smoky. An exotic gin with vibrancy and depth - equally striking in a Gin & Tonic or an adventurous cocktail.
