|Label Design|
As recorded in The Classic of Filial Piety: “When virtue reaches the birds and beasts, the fox has nine tails.” While the image of the nine-tailed fox has been misrepresented as a mythical beast in later eras, it was originally a symbol of virtue, prosperity, and a sign of auspiciousness and imperial grace in ancient times.
The nine-tailed fox appears only when the world is at peace and people live abundant lives, bringing blessings of harmony to the world. The illustration depicts the nine-tailed fox standing in a serene and vast atmosphere, surrounded by blooming flowers, symbolizing the wish for peace for lands and beings that have endured hardship.

|Distillery Introduction|
Glen Elgin Distillery is located in Scotland’s Speyside region and is known for its delicate and fruity single malt whiskies. Founded in 1898, it began production in 1900 and was later acquired by Scottish Malt Distillers in 1930, becoming a key component of White Horse blended whisky.
Glen Elgin whiskies are praised for their rich fruity layers and refreshing character, achieved through clear wort, extended fermentation, slow distillation, and the use of unique worm tub condensers, which add weight and complexity to the whisky.
