What is it...?
Sơn Tinh Nếp Cẩm is made by fermenting a red sticky rice variety from the northern mountain region. In mid-fermentation the residual natural sugar is preserved in the rice by adding clear sticky rice liquor.
When to drink with what:
In Eastern cultures spirits are a common accompaniment to a social meal.
Try our recommendations:
A perfect accompaniment to red meats and strong cheeses. Matches well with dishes containing nuts.
A fine digestif.
Note:
In order to retain their full character and taste, Son Tinh liquors are not chill-filtered. At low temperatures or with the addition of water a slight haze may occasionally arise. Long maturing might also result in a certain residue at the bottom of the bottle. This is absolutely natural and does not in any way impair the quality of the liquor.
Sơn Tinh liquors are natural and do not contain any artificial additives or flavouring.
