6 secret ingredients that we can’t share yet ...
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, the custom made 500L copper plated still featuring a European styled copper alembic dome. The 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.
Porcelain distillery is located in the Liaoning Province.
A World Class Master Distiller
Porcelain Distillery are proudly collaborated with a true gin distilling and award winning expert, Kai Seidenhefter from Hessen, Germany. Kai currently runs and operates Fieldfare Gin and St. Alberts Distillery in Germany. Combining his vast knowledge of traditional European gin distilling techniques alongside our sophisticated knowledge and access to premium botanicals - a delectable mouth-watering dry gin is created.
Self Sustaining Organic Farm
Surrounding the Distillery is an organic farm. The boiled down botanicals from the still make for very rich fertilizer for the organic produce. The farm produces over 16+ different types of vegetables, spices and fruits. Some end up in the Gin, while the others into surrounding neighbour bellies. Porcelain Distillery believes in self sustainability and leaving a smaller carbon footprint and uses natural shade made of grape vines and drive electric vehicles around the distillery.
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 botanicals and ingredients that are from China. The product cannot be artificially sweetened. All botanical flavour in a Shanghai Dry Gin must be imparted through distillation.
