Crimson Pangolin was founded at the end of 2017, by China expats, Helena Kidacka and David Munoz. With a passion for spirits, and a particular love for gin, they set out to create a spirit inspired by the abundance of herbs, botanicals and spices that The Middle Kingdom has to offer.
After traveling the breadth of the country in search for the ideal location to produce the spirit, they settled on the historic city of Changsha, in southern China’s Hunan province. With its clean waters, and abundance of spices and exciting botanicals, Changsha seemed the perfect place to distill the first batch of Crimson Pangolin.
Many editions later, Changsha is still our home, and we continue to search China far and wide for the most unique and interesting ingredients.

Crimson Pangolin is one of the many Chinese homegrown brands by The Crimson Spirits Company .
