Savor the rich aroma and soothe your mind and body with 'Drinking Osmanthus,' a craft gin brand called 'HOLON.' Introducing the autumn limited edition, 'Osmanthus Gin.

The craft gin brand 'HOLON' (https://holongin.com/) has commenced pre-orders for their Seasonal Line 2023 Autumn Limited Flavor, 'HOLON GIN SEASONAL Autumn <Osmanthus>.

Background of the Product:

'HOLON' is a craft gin brand that embraces the concept of "harmonizing the mind and body" to cater to the diverse ways people enjoy alcohol in the era of the New Normal. It stands out by blending nine Eastern herbs and spices to create a gin that is gentle on modern individuals who often carry stress and fatigue. To maintain its aromatic richness while ensuring a smooth mouthfeel, 'HOLON' is crafted with a relatively low alcohol content (approximately 35-40 degrees).

Focusing on the well-being of the mind and body in harmony with the changing seasons, the Seasonal Line, which started in December 2021, aligns with the philosophy of the "Five Elements" from natural philosophy, which forms the foundation of wellness and traditional Chinese medicine. Using seasonal ingredients and botanical ingredients commonly used in wellness practices, 'HOLON' distills its offerings to complement the health of the mind and body in response to seasonal and temperature changes, thus expressing the unique world of 'HOLON.'

About the New Autumn Product:

The newly launched "HOLON GIN SEASONAL Autumn <Osmanthus>" available for pre-order is a gin that revolves around the soothing aroma of "osmanthus." It received tremendous acclaim last year and quickly sold out within days of its release, with demand outpacing supply to the extent that additional production was unable to keep up. This year, we have doubled the amount of osmanthus flowers used during distillation, resulting in an even more aromatic profile.

Osmanthus contains compounds such as osmanol, para-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol, and palmitic acid, which have long been used for relaxation and promoting restful sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, dried osmanthus flowers are used to make "guihua tea," which is cherished as a beverage that helps harmonize the mind and body in the autumn season. We have captured the gentle fragrance of osmanthus, enveloped it in the soft sweetness of apricot, and added a hint of spiciness from cardamom and cinnamon, creating a delightful aromatic flavor.

Furthermore, autumn corresponds to the element "metal" in the "Five Elements" philosophy, inspiring our package's illustration design, which incorporates shiny gold as the theme color. This design evokes the season of harvest, including rice and crops, and the mystical scent of osmanthus, aligning with the concept of "metal" and expressing the essence of the product.
