N.I.P 捌億 800M Fat Choi Edition Gin - Full Set 中發白
無名氏「捌億」的傳統
早於無名氏成立前,我們已說好要推出「捌億」氈酒這個計劃,所以每年「捌億」都對我們別具意義,不只是因為概念來自我們很喜歡的一部農曆新年電影,亦同時提醒自己當初成立酒廠的目標,希望往後仍能懷著當時的熱情及初衷帶無名氏走得更遠。
來到無名氏的第三個年頭,今年的「捌億」氈酒聯乘著名國際插畫家 Jonathan Jay Lee 推出一套三款的麻雀特別版「中、發、白」酒標,希望大家發個嚦咕嚦咕新年財,年年揾捌億!繼續把所有困難和挑戰化作原動力,繼續成長和開創自己要走的路。
釀製理念與品味
同樣以八款不同的原材料,包括鐵觀音、桂花、陳皮、杜松子、蜜柑、南杏、南棗和生薑釀製而成,今年的「捌億」比較注重桂花的香甜,配上鐵觀音和蜜柑,味道偏向清甜,寓意大家甜甜密密,錢兔似錦行大運!
THE TRADITION OF “800M”. 「捌億」, which is Chinese for “800 million”, is a concept we hold dearly to our hearts. Not only is it a concept from a movie “Fat Choi Spirit” that we grew up watching every year during Lunar New Year, it also represents our traditional saying of keeping rich at heart and be content with all we have, as things will take its course even during the toughest times. This year, we are honored to be able to pair up with renowned artist Jonathan Jay Lee in coming up with 3 special mahjong labels for this edition, and by combining the three labels you will not only have a set of the red, green and white dragon, but also the full original illustration created for this bottle. We hope to celebrate the new year of Rabbit in 2023 with lots of (mahjong) winnings, fun and laughter, and we hope this special year will bring forth opportunities to “jump”, to grow and to hug our love ones, close and afar. N.I.P wishes everyone a wealthy, healthy and exciting year of Rabbit!
CONCEPT, INGREDIENTS AND TASTING NOTES.
