Product Q&A

Common questions about our spirits, purchasing, and shipping.

What is Yuki no Mado Dry Gin?
Yuki no Mado is Tankyu Distillery's debut gin from Higashikawa, Hokkaido. Fourteen botanicals — juniper, rice koji, Todomatsu (Hokkaido fir), yuzu, and lavender among them — are distilled with snowmelt spring water from Mt. Asahidake in the Daisetsuzan range. The result is a gin that captures the purity and stillness of a Hokkaido winter (45% ABV, 500ml, ¥4,950).
How should I serve Yuki no Mado Dry Gin?
Yuki no Mado is beautifully versatile. Try it neat or on the rocks to appreciate the delicate interplay of rice koji and Todomatsu fir. For a refreshing long drink, serve as a gin and tonic with a twist of yuzu peel. It also works well in a classic Martini where the Hokkaido botanicals add a gentle, aromatic complexity.
Where can I buy Yuki no Mado Dry Gin?
Yuki no Mado is available through our Japan online store and the Hong Kong online store. It is also sold at the distillery tasting room in Higashikawa, Hokkaido.
What is Perfume Trees Gin?
Perfume Trees Gin is Hong Kong's first craft gin, born from the city's botanical heritage. Thirteen carefully selected botanicals — White Champaca blossoms, Indian Sandalwood, 15-year aged tangerine peel, Longjing green tea, Chinese Angelica, and eight classic gin botanicals — create a gin that is bright yet complex on the nose and silky on the palate (45% ABV, 500ml).
How should I serve Perfume Trees Gin?
Perfume Trees Gin shines neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of exceptional cocktails. For a signature serve, pair it with a premium tonic and a slice of dried tangerine peel to echo the gin's aged-citrus character. It is equally at home in a Negroni or a floral gin sour.
What awards has Perfume Trees Gin won?
Perfume Trees Gin has received the SIP Awards Platinum, World Gin Awards Gold, Gin Masters Master Medal, CWSA Double Gold, and Great Taste 2 Stars — recognising it as one of Asia's finest craft gins.
Where can I buy Perfume Trees Gin?
Perfume Trees Gin is available in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the UK, and Thailand. You can order online from the Hong Kong store or the UK store. For availability in Taiwan and Thailand, please contact us.
What is the Cathay × Perfume Trees Gin Set?
The Dusk & Dawn Crafted Gin Set is an exclusive collaboration between Cathay and Perfume Trees Gin. It features two 200ml bespoke gins inspired by the changing skies — Dawn captures the bright, fresh notes of sunrise while Dusk embodies the warm, golden tones of twilight. Each bottle is a tribute to the journey above the clouds.
How should I serve the Dusk & Dawn gins?
Dawn, with its bright citrus-forward character, pairs well with a light tonic and a sprig of fresh mint. Dusk, richer and more warming, is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of ginger ale and a strip of orange peel. Both make excellent bases for aviation or gimlet-style cocktails.
Where can I buy the Cathay × Perfume Trees Gin Set?
The Dusk & Dawn set is available exclusively through the Cathay lifestyle store using Asia Miles.
What is Pale Ink Coffee Liqueur?
Pale Ink is the world's first sugar-free coffee liqueur. Built on a Perfume Trees Gin base, it combines Ethiopian single-origin cold-brew coffee with Natvia stevia sweetener — delivering rich coffee depth with under 150 kcal per 100ml. A bold innovation for health-conscious spirits lovers (25% ABV, 500ml).
How should I serve Pale Ink Coffee Liqueur?
Pale Ink is delicious served over ice as a digestif, or shaken with vodka and a splash of oat milk for a lighter Espresso Martini. It also works beautifully poured over vanilla ice cream as an affogato, or mixed into a cold-brew coffee with a dash of cream for a low-calorie coffee cocktail.
What is Thence Botanical Honeyed Elixir?
Thence is a seasonal series of botanical honey liqueurs crafted with local Hong Kong honey and rotating botanicals — frangipani, lychee, pomelo, gingerbread, strawberry, and more. Each limited-edition release captures a fleeting moment of the season in a bottle (18% ABV, 500ml, ~HK$390).
How should I serve Thence?
Thence is lovely chilled and served neat as a dessert sipper, or on the rocks with a squeeze of fresh citrus. Mix it with sparkling water or champagne for a refreshing spritz. It also pairs wonderfully drizzled over fresh fruit, yoghurt, or panna cotta as a finishing touch.
What is the Tankyu New-Make Spirit?
Our new-make spirit is freshly distilled single malt spirit — the unaged whisky distillate that will one day become Tankyu single malt whisky. Made with Daisetsuzan spring water and carefully selected malted barley, it offers malty sweetness, fresh citrus, and a clean, fruity finish. It is the purest expression of the distillery's character before cask maturation.
How should I taste the New-Make Spirit?
New-make spirit is best appreciated neat at room temperature to fully experience its malty sweetness and citrus notes. Add a few drops of water to open up the aroma. It can also be enjoyed on the rocks or as a base for a simple highball with soda water and a lemon twist.
When will the Tankyu single malt whisky be available?
Our first single malt whisky is expected around 2028. In the meantime, you can sign up on our Spirits page to be notified when the new-make spirit and future releases become available.
