Family Run Business

Our Story
Hailing from a family lineage of traditional spice makers, the distillery has private access to the best botanicals & ingredients offered in China. Our knowledge of botanicals and its properties are uniquely unparalleled. We are proud to have collaborated with a true gin distilling and award winning veteran, Kai Seidenhefter from Hessen, Germany. Combining his vast knowledge of traditional European gin distilling techniques alongside our sophisticated knowledge and access to premium botanicals - a full bodied and vibrant gin is born.

Our Way Of Life
Aside from pouring our heart and soul into the product, everything that goes into the gin is painstakingly handcrafted. Hand cracked hazelnuts, hand peeled & dried citrus skins and hand applied labels are some of our signature processes.

Artisan Ceramic Bottles

Each and every single ceramic bottle is handmade and in that way - each bottle is unique.

The liquid clay is first poured into customized molds then blown to create the cavity. The neck and mouth are then separately made and hand connected to the pottery before firing in a large kiln. The bottle is then glazed before another trip to the furnace. The finishing touches include hand applying the copper floral decals before yet again further heat treatment.

These beautiful bottles radiate the efforts required to produce them.

State Of The Art Distillery

Custom Copper Plated Still
Meet Mulan, our custom made 500L copper plated still featuring a European styled copper alembic dome. Our main botanicals simmer in the boiler overnight for an intense flavour and the notes of the fresher botanicals are passed on through the vapour infusion chamber.

The flavours are then further combined and refined through a 6 plate vertical reflux column before ultra cooled in the condenser for collection.

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.
