The esteemed craft gin brand HOLON, founded by SOBMA Co., Ltd., is celebrating its fifth anniversary with the release of its first non-alcoholic drink, 'HOLON GIN ORIGINAL 0.00%'. Starting on July 29, 2026, this new offering will be available for pre-order, reflecting the brand's commitment to delivering aromatic and flavorful experiences. Designed for those moments when alcohol is not an option, this drink allows you to enjoy a sophisticated flavor profile aligned with HOLON's ethos of 'Mindful Drinking'.
In addition to the non-alcoholic option, HOLON will also reintroduce its signature craft gin, 'HOLON GIN ORIGINAL', with an updated formula. This renewed version features a lower alcohol content of 35%, providing a pleasant experience when mixed with soda water to achieve a drink that is only 3-5% alcohol by volume. This unique approach to drinking is part of a larger global trend focusing on well-being, known as 'Mindful Drinking'. This concept encourages individuals to consciously choose when and how much alcohol to consume, aligning with their mood and physical state.
HOLON resonates with this philosophy, aiming to blur the lines between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. By introducing a non-alcoholic craft option, the brand encourages customers to select their preferred 'tuning method' based on their daily circumstances. The experience focuses not on intoxication, but rather on being present in the moment. The aromatic botanicals gently fill the senses, leading to tranquility and mindfulness.
The 'HOLON GIN ORIGINAL 0.00%' replicates the deep breath-inducing aroma and crisp taste of its alcoholic counterpart. Perfect for work breaks or relaxation times, this refreshing drink pairs well with meals, providing a smooth drinking experience without alcohol. The fragrant profile draws from Eastern plants native to Japan, with fresh scents of green rush grass and the sweet aroma of Hamanasu flowers, complemented by the grounding scent of patchouli that lingers as the finish.
