  2. [Label Features] Crafted at Kavalan Distillery in Yilan using pure spring water from the Xueshan mountains. 40% ABV. Marked by a beautiful clear blue bottle.
  3. [Straight Tasting] Sip straight first. Beyond traditional juniper berry freshness, the pleasant bitterness/acidity of Taiwan's 'Kumquat', tropical sweetness of 'Red Guava', and juicy 'Starfruit' aroma intertwine complexly through the nose.
  4. [Gin & Tonic] Pour into an iced glass, mix with premium tonic water. Instead of lime, squeeze 'orange peel (or kumquat)' to enhance flavor, creating a supreme cocktail that makes you feel like you're in a tropical Taiwanese orchard.
