Founded by Vietnamese-American sustainable agriculture visionary Daniel Nguyen, Sng Ci sources botanicals exclusively from long-standing farming and foraging Hmong, Red Dzao, and Kinh families. Sng Ci invests back into its partner rural communities through paying fair pricing for botanicals, funding reforestation programs, heirloom botanical preservation and propagation efforts, educational assistance for communities, and shared farming equipment and processing facilities.

Sng Ci Distillerys spirits are distilled in hand-hammered direct-fired copper alembic pot stills. Sng Cis inaugural Vit Nam Dry Gin, the first-ever Vietnamese gin, has earned accolades for its re-imagination of the dry gin category by using 16 heirloom Vietnamese ingredients like green turmeric, jungle pepper, black cardamom, and heirloom pomelo. The name Sng Ci translates to Mother River, paying homage to the cradle of Vietnamese civilization (a concept found universal in Vit Nam) as well as to the distinctly Vietnamese spiritual relationship to the land: that all things come from and are interwoven with nature.
