Description

On The Tibetan Plateau, shadowed by the Ta’er Monastery, Huzhujinquan Distillery is giving life to the first Tibet Single MaltJiu Hai Bu Gan. Made from the world renowned Tibetan barley, malted, mashed and fermented under the action of indigenous yeasts carefully kept under the shadows of the monastery, it is with the softest pure water flowing from Himalaya rivers that this whisky is crafted, distilled and aged.

Distillation of malted barley has been practiced in Tibet for more than 400 years. This millennial tradition was making sure that the alcohol coming out of the pot still was staying crystal clear and transparent all the way to the finish bottle as crystal clear alcohol was the symbol of purity. To achieve this goal, the distillate was kept in porcelain amphora named “Jiu Hai” before being bottled. This very slow maturation occurring over the years of ageing through the amphora walls made of kaolin, was contributing to soften and round the alcohol, giving it an almost creamy taste with a hint of citrus freshness. Today, Huzhujinquan Distillery is perpetuating this tradition and, depending on the product range, the alcohol is still kept between 3 to 50 years in “Jiu Hai”, the porcelain amphoras.

Jiu Hai Bu Gan Craft White is made from traditional distillation followed by maturation of the spirit during a minimum of 3 years in terracotta amphora. It is a Single Malt of a crystal clear colour, reflecting the purity of the  fresh water from the Himalaya mountains.
