Welcome to a one-of-a-kind tasting experience that delves into the heart of Vietnam’s craft spirit scene.
For this exclusive experience, we partnered with Về Để Đi craft alcohol distillery and House of Barbaard, a hidden bar in Hanoi known for its signature cocktail creations. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed with a special drink and seated in a private Opium Den room where our expert will guide you through the story behind each spirit, local ingredients sourced for their production, and tasting notes.
After tasting each of 4 craft spirits, the mixologists will prepare a cocktail based on them and our curator will share the story behind it. We specifically crafted the cocktail menu to allow our drinks to highlight the tasting notes of the liquors used in them.
The curator of this experience Quan Nguyen is an F&B industry professional and a craft alcohol expert.
Trained professionally as a poet, Quan spent 5 years in Wisconsin, USA before returning home - to Hanoi. After a decade of working in various fields, Quan ventured into food & beverage with a goal to bring Vietnamese premium agricultural products to the world. In 2020 he co-founded Về Để Đi Distillery.
