｜Splendid Creatures Series｜
We have collaborated with Shinanoya to launch the Splendid Creature Series, inspired by the six legendary Eastern divine beasts: Azure Dragon Vermilion Bird White Tiger Golden Pixiu Black Tortoise, and Radiant Qilin
, each symbolizing blessings and prosperity.
The Azure Dragon represents the power of nature, Vermilion Bird signifies fire and life, White Tiger embodies strength and protection, Golden Pixiu brings wealth, Black Tortoise carries resilience and wisdom, while Raidiant Qilin stands for auspiciousness and nobility.
The Splendid Creature Series features rare single cask whiskies aged 20 to 30 years, blending the imagery of divine beasts with exceptional craftsmanship. This collection showcases unique flavors and cultural depth, offering more than just a bottle of whisky—it’s a harmonious feast for the senses and the spirit.

｜Label Design｜ Centered on the Pixiu as a symbol, it represents the auspicious sign of “transforming misfortune and attracting wealth” as energy is absorbed. Colors are used to convey the flavors of the whisky: brown tones symbolize longan, agarwood, and cinnamon; red represents sour plum and creamy dried plum. The fragrance of gardenia in the whisky is expressed through white and green tones, while black and blue represent the subtle hints of star anise, clove, and tar.
