The Spirit of Taiwan in Every Bottle

Holy Distillery is not just a brand; it's a story of passion and dedication. Founded in 2016 in Yingge, New Taipei City, the distillery is known for its commitment to quality and authenticity. The gins are crafted using locally sourced botanicals, ensuring that each bottle captures the essence of Taiwan's landscapes - mountains, seas, and fertile plains.

As the founders Alex Chang and Zheng Zheyu emphasized, translating the flavors and aromas of Taiwan into a spirit form was their mission. Rather than transporting fresh ingredients, they envisioned encapsulating the ambrosial experience of Taiwan in a bottle, making these gins a true representation of the island's terroir.
