Taiwanese fine spirits shine on the international stage once again! Good news from the ABAS Brewing Story Museum in Da'an, Taichung – their first terroir-based gin, "YUYU 43%", has won the Silver Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), known as the Oscars of spirits worldwide. This achievement successfully transforms Taiwan's natural scenery and cultural heritage into an international flavor.

Based on Taiwanese sorghum, YUYU translates the island's cultural aromas.
Unlike traditional gins on the market that are based on grains or neutral alcohol, YUYU boldly chooses to start with Taiwanese sorghum, the most distinctive local spirit. Founders Wu Huanran and Hong Lishuang insist on the traditional, slow-ripening method of solid-state fermentation and distillation, never adding any artificial flavors or edible alcohol. The pure and full-bodied sorghum liquor perfectly blends the aromas of bamboo leaves, local tea, and citrus fruits, bringing a fresh interpretation to the gin market.

Bamboo Groves, Orchards, and Tea: Three Layers of Island Scenery

"YUYU" tells the story of Taiwan's diverse landscape, offering a smooth and layered taste:

◆Top Notes: Upon entry, the delicate aroma of bamboo leaves, like a gentle breeze through a forest, unveils an elegant prelude.

◆Middle Notes: The mid-palate bursts with bright citrus notes from local farmers, bringing out the vitality of nature.

◆Finish: The finish elegantly concludes with a serene tea aroma and a subtle honey sweetness, leaving a delicate floral aftertaste in the glass.

From the gentle breeze of bamboo groves and the orchards of pomelos and citrus to the lingering aroma of tea, "YUYU" is more than just a bottle of wine; it's a flavor journey, making every sip a sensory dialogue with the island.

Adhering to a minimalist approach to brewing, allowing the world to savor the terroir of Taiwan

Daan Gan Chun Distillery is rooted in the history of Daan, formerly known as "Haiwengku Harbor," inheriting traditional Japanese brewing methods and combining them with modern food science. Its products have repeatedly won double gold and gold medals at the San Francisco Spirits Competition and recognition from Belgium's iTQi. The founder stated that the awards won by "Yuyu" prove that Taiwanese local spirits possess the top-tier strength to engage in dialogue with the world. In the future, they will continue to collaborate with local farmers, using the purest time and craftsmanship to brew a uniquely Taiwanese story of subtle intoxication.
