Join us at Crimson Spirits as we proudly unveil our newest addition to the family: Eastern Folklore, a distinguished line of whisky-aged spirits. Representing a pioneering venture into the world of Chinese whisky, Eastern Folklore invites you on an unparalleled journey:
Crafted in the heart of China, Eastern Folklore is a testament to the fusion of Eastern wisdom and Western craftsmanship, resulting in an exceptional blend of unparalleled quality.
At the core of this extraordinary creation lies the pristine water sourced from the legendary Kunyu Mountain (Kun’ao Mountain). Renowned for its captivating sea-bound mountains and serene purity, this location forms the essence of our whisky’s foundation.
Adhering to our commitment to natural purity, Eastern Folklore embraces the “Three Zero Plus” principle—no added sugar, flavors, or caramel color. Our water, drawn from the heart of the Kunyu Mountain peninsula, possesses a unique composition enriched with traces of silicon, a superior quality bicarbonate-sodium type, offering an unparalleled canvas for the artistry of whisky making.
Central to our craft is the triple pot still, an innovative refinement on the traditional double still method. This pioneering technique drastically reduces fusel oil content while preserving the delicate essence of malt aromas. The result? A whisky that embodies impeccable structure, purity, freshness, and velvety smoothness.
Our dedication to meticulous craftsmanship continues in the production process. Employing an all-copper pot still, our whisky undergoes a prolonged fermentation period of a minimum of 128 hours—a stark contrast to the standard 48-hour duration. This extended fermentation enriches the complexity and depth of our whisky’s character, setting it apart in terms of flavor profile and richness.
The aging journey takes place within our innovative “Diaobao Oak Barrels,” a fusion of Northern Chinese and Mongolian barrel styles crafted from Quercus mongolica oak wood.
Our Phoenix Edition embodies a blend of malt, barley, and corn, revealing delightful notes of smokiness, sweetness, and oak—a perfect companion for a refreshing highball. Tasting notes: Smooth and fruity with hints of vanilla.
The Dragon Edition, aged in barrels previously embracing apple brandy and Dianhao black tea leaves, offers a sensorial experience with delightful fruity and tea-inspired notes.
Join us on an expedition of flavor and tradition as we present Eastern Folklore—a harmony of heritage and innovation in every sip.
