Family Run Business

Our Story
Rooted in a long family lineage of traditional spice makers, our distillery has private access to some of the finest botanicals and ingredients that China has to offer. This deep, ancestral knowledge of botanicals and their unique properties sets us apart, allowing us to create spirits that are truly unparalleled.

We are proud to have collaborated with Kai Seidenhefter, a true gin distilling veteran and award-winning expert from Hessen, Germany. By combining his vast knowledge of traditional European gin distilling techniques with our sophisticated understanding and access to premium botanicals, we have been able to create a full-bodied, vibrant gin that showcases the best of both worlds.

Our Way Of Life
Pouring our heart and soul into every bottle is just the beginning. Every step of the process, from hand-cracking hazelnuts to hand-peeling and drying citrus skins, is executed with meticulous care and attention to detail. Even our labels are hand-applied on our premium ceramic bottles, ensuring that each and every bottle is a true work of art.

This dedication to craftsmanship and quality is more than just a business model – it's a way of life for our family. We take immense pride in our heritage, our community, and the exceptional spirits we create, and it shows in every sip.

Whether you're enjoying a classic gin and tonic or sipping one of our more unique offerings, you can taste the passion, the expertise, and the love that goes into every bottle. This is more than just a product – it's a legacy, and we're honored to share it with the world.

Artisan Ceramic Bottles

Each and every single ceramic bottle we offer is handmade, ensuring that every bottle is a unique work of art. The meticulous process behind their creation is what gives these bottles their exceptional quality and beauty.

The journey of each bottle begins with liquid clay, which is poured into custom-made molds. The clay is then carefully blown to create the hollow cavity of the bottle. The neck and mouth are separately formed and hand-connected to the pottery body before the first firing in a large kiln.

After the initial firing, the bottle is expertly glazed, imbuing it with a stunning, glossy finish. The bottle then returns to the furnace for another round of high-heat treatment, further enhancing its durability and visual appeal.

The final touches are applied by hand, with intricate copper floral decals delicately added to the surface of the bottle. This meticulous attention to detail results in a truly one-of-a-kind piece that radiates the considerable effort and craftsmanship involved in its creation.

The end result is a beautifully unique ceramic bottle that not only serves a practical purpose but also elevates any space with its artistry and elegance. Each bottle is a testament to the skill and passion of the dedicated artisans we partner with.

State Of The Art Distillery

Custom Copper Plated Still
Introducing Mulan, our stunning 500L custom-made copper plated still featuring a European-style copper alembic dome. This magnificent piece of equipment is the heart and soul of our distillery, where we craft our exceptional spirits.

The process begins with our carefully selected botanicals, which are left to simmer overnight in the boiler. This slow, meticulous approach allows the ingredients to fully infuse, resulting in an intense and complex flavor profile. The fresh botanicals are then introduced, and their delicate aromas are expertly captured through the vapor infusion chamber.

The flavors are further combined and refined as they pass through our 6-plate vertical reflux column, ensuring a superior level of purity and balance. The spirit is then ultra-cooled in the condenser, where it is carefully collected for bottling.

One of the unique challenges we face is the harsh winters in the Liaoning Province, where our distillery is located. Temperatures can plummet as low as -35 degrees Celsius, thus to minimize our carbon footprint, we harness the power of natural outdoor cooling to chill our condenser column, showcasing our commitment to sustainable practices.

Our distillery is located in the Liaoning Province.

Defining Shanghai Dry Gin

Shanghai Dry Gin draws its origination from the familiar definition of a London Dry Gin.

A Shanghai Dry Gin must contain at least 90% of its botanicals that is sourced from China. The product cannot be artificially sweetened. All botanical flavour in a Shanghai Dry Gin must be imparted through distillation.

We are proud that Porcelain Gin has a detected methanol level that is 6 times lower than EU Official methanol requirements.

Our gin is safe, and delicious.
