Nestled in the centre of the Liuyang River basin The Goalong Distillery is surrounded by the Luoxiao and Lianyun mountain ranges from north to south. The distillery site has been carefully selected for its stunning temperate subtropical climate, rich natural biodiversity,
99% forested area and strong rain and fog variations throughout the year. It is under this low latitude snow-capped mountain that the most suitable soil for whiskey production has been found. With 1680mm of annual rainfall and access to the natural spring water of the Liuyang River, it is definitely an excellent region for distilling premium gins.
This Chinese gin is distinguished by its unique combination of local ingredients. The gin is distilled from meticulously selected corn and then ground before being mixed with powdered starch and local water. The resulting liquid is then infused with over 20 local Chinese herbs and spices such as green tea, coriander seeds, cinnamon and Sichuan pepper.
