The Unique Flavors of Khề Khà Whisky at An Bang Beach Village Restaurant

If you’re tired of overpriced, insipid cocktails and crave a drink with more character, then Daddy Herbal Whisky is for you! Even if rice whisky isn’t usually your preferred drink, this unique spirit offers a fascinating insight into another aspect of authentic An Bang village life.

Nestled behind An Bang Beach Village Restaurant, my dad runs the most popular distillery of rice whisky in the area. The process of creating Daddy Herbal Whisky begins with mixing rice, water, and yeast, allowing them to ferment for around seven days. The liquid is then poured into stills, heated by wood fires, and distilled into plastic containers. This meticulous process produces a remarkably smooth spirit, about twice the strength of wine, and surprisingly affordable—costing about the same as a bottle of beer, giving you plenty of bang for your buck!

My dad, a very fit-looking seventy-two-year-old, has lived in keeping with the traditions of An Bang, having been a fisherman for most of his life. He attributes his health to the many glasses of Vietnamese green tea he drinks each morning, a habit he has maintained for many years. Despite his good health, about five years ago, he decided he was no longer strong enough for the tough fishing life. It was then that he turned to distilling and pig farming as alternative ways of earning an income.

In true Vietnamese self-sufficiency, the waste from the distilling process is used to feed his pigs. This innovative approach contributes to the renowned special flavor of his pork, which has become a local favorite. His rice whisky and pork have become so popular that he believes he earns more now than he ever did as a fisherman. In fact, he often jokes, with a twinkle in his eye, that he might even make more money than his children’s successful restaurant!

Daddy Herbal Whisky, also known as Khề Khà, is a unique blend of rice whisky infused with local herbs, offering a special twist on a classic drink.

The process involves carefully selecting the best rice and herbs, ensuring that every bottle of Daddy Herbal Whisky meets the highest standards of quality. This commitment to excellence is evident in every sip, as the smooth and potent flavor of the whisky reveals the rich heritage of An Bang village.
