CRIMSON PANGOLIN GIN – CHINA CRAFT GIN

CHINESE BOTANICAL

CRAFT GIN

Proudly distilled and bottled in the ancient city of Changsha.

OUR STORY

MADE IN CHANGSHA

As well as being one of the cleanest cities in China, with an abundance of natural beauty, Changsha boasts some of the purest waters in China. Its so pure in fact, that it's not uncommon to see locals and tourists alike taking unfiltered water from the Baisha ancient well home with them.

FOUNDED IN 2017

Crimson Pangolin was founded in the summer of 2017 by two foreigners living in China, David Munoz and Helena Kidacka. During a trip back to her native London in early of 2017, Helena discovered that was going through somewhat of a renaissance. Along with her partner, David, they decided to make one of China's first craft gins.

MADE FROM CHINESE BOTANICALS

Post distillation, we infuse our gin with a secret blend of eight botanicals sourced from Hunan, Hainan and Sichuan provinces. Our junipers are all grown and farmed in Shandong, North Eastern China.

DISTILLED AND BOTTLED IN CHANGSHA

Crimson Pangolin gin is proudly distilled in the historic city of Changsha, Hunan province.
Changsha is known to be one of the cleanest cities in China, with only roughly 1% of the land being industrialised.
It is also a city with huge cultural and historical significance, with Mao ZeDongs hometown of Shaoshan being just a stones-throw away, the Baisha ancient well and the Yuelu academy.

MEET THE CREATORS

Crimson Pangolin gin was created by two foreigners living in Shanghai, David Munoz and Helena Kidacka. During a trip back to her native London in the summer of 2017, Helena discovered that gin was going through somewhat of a renaissance, and that ordering a G&T at the bar had suddenly become a lot more exciting.
Upon her return to Shanghai, Helena told her partner, David Munoz about her intriguing discovery. David, who has his own company importing liquor into China, and is very much a connoisseur of craft spirits, discovered that there was no Chinese Craft gin available on the market, and suggested they create their own.
