The journey through the silk road began with the founder, Michel Lu, a serial entrepreneur and restaurateur, atop the mystical and magical Shangri-La (3,300m above sea-level).
Born was The Orientalist Spirits, the World's first premium pan-Asian craft spirits company with an award-winning collection of artisanal spirits crafted from only the best premium ingredients sourced directly and ethically from the Orient.
The Orientalist Origins Vodka is certainly a unique spirit; priding itself on being the first truly Pan-Asian spirit, it’s ingredients are carefully and thoughtfully sourced from the highest quality ingredients from across Asia.
The Orientalist Origins Vodka is triple blended with longan honey from Taiwan, barley extracted from the Tibetan highlands, 9 different kinds of potatoes and then proofed with ultra soft water that comes from the Sakurajima Peninsula in Kagoshima prefecture, Japan.
This intricate blend delivers a mouth-watering creamy feel, succulent aromatic sweetness and hints of earthy and herbaceous scents that can be perfectly enjoyed and savoured either on the rocks or as a bone dry martini (sans vermouth).
The Orientalist Dragon Whisky is an 8 year old double wood matured blend. It is blended with whiskies obtained from the top 3 whisky regions in Asia: Japan, Taiwan and India.
This whisky has a deep and warm amber colour. It has a rich and luscious flavour; dried dates, fresh red fruits and a touch of dark chocolate gives it a sensual and indulgent feel. The nose contains notes of vanilla, raisin, apricot, sherry and hints of spice and smoke.
The Orientalist Dragon Whisky is not just another whisky to be kept in a dark closet where it’ll catch cobwebs and dust, it is one that is ready to be enjoyed now. Drink it neat, or in a classic cocktail.
The Orientalist Gunpowder Gin is a contemporary gin that is produced using a blend of traditional and low temperature vacuum distillation methods & techniques.
The Orientalist Gunpowder Gin contains hints of tea, black pepper and citrus; giving it a crisp, clean, sophisticated and well balanced taste. In total, 23 different botanicals were used in the making of this gin: Gunpowder tea, Kampot peppercorn, Siberian ginseng, Korean Omija berries, dried tangerine peel, Osmanthus flower, angelica, coriander, orris root and Mace - donian juniper berries - just to name a few.
This aromatic and refreshing Gin is perfect for a hot day and can be enjoyed in a classic Martini or in a cheeky Negroni.
