Culture Map Ft. Worth
Texas has enjoyed a boom in distilleries in recent years, focused primarly on making whiskey. That's why Su Ti Craft Distillery is such a special one-of-a-kind. This newly opened distillery in Kennedale is the first in Texas, and possibly even the U.S., to specialize in rượu đế, AKA authentic Vietnamese traditional rice liquor.
The most well known rice-based alcoholic beverage is Japanese sake. Sake is comparable to wine, with an alcohol content at about 14 percent.
What Su Ti is doing is more comparable to spirits, with a higher alcohol content of 40 to 45 percent ABV.
