Distilled and bottled in Taiwan. The botanicals — orris root, juniper, apricot, and sweet orange — are there only to supplement the tea, nothing more. We keep the recipe deliberately simple so the leaf stays the centre of the bottle. Each batch is built around 80 kg (176 lbs) of premium leaf and run through the still as a double vapor infusion — the spirit’s vapor passes through the dried tea twice, drawing out flavour and depth a simple steep could never reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e84 Proof (ABV 42%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in MMXXIII.\u003cbr\u003eHigh Mountain Spirits was started in 2023, after a conversation about why pairing tea with alcohol the right way wasn’t already a thing. There are tea cocktails. There are tea-infused gins. But no brand was curating the best teas from the world’s most stunning mountain regions and distilling them — taking a leaf already extraordinary to drink and pulling new, different flavours out of it through the still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach spirit is designed from the ground up: which tea do we want to showcase, and why. Every bottle is crafted close to its leaf — local sources, local distilleries — so the tea reaches the still as fresh as it can be. The supporting botanicals stay deliberately simple, there only to enhance the leaf, never to compete with it — the essence of the tea remains the centre of the bottle. Distilling also preserves the leaf across years; and because each season’s crop tastes different (climate, rainfall, the water it grew on), every release we ship is signed and labelled by batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur first gin, Alishan Cloud, is released in May 2026 — two thousand bottles, distilled and filled in Taiwan, the country its leaf came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554964534442_70245\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlum blossom\u003cbr\u003eJasmine\u003cbr\u003eHoney\u003cbr\u003eSweet orange\u003cbr\u003eJuniper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSHIPPING \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*SHIPPING NOTICE- If possible, please use a business address for shipping.
