Craft gin and crowdfunding — why the heck not? This campaign, the first of its kind in Asia, is led by Paper Lantern Distilling, a new Singapore-based boutique craft spirits company helmed by a husband-and-wife duo. Their aim is to use only local and Asian ingredients in their products.
The initiative starts today, with the aim of launching limited edition first batch bottles of craft gin in Asia. Distilled in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Sichuan Pepper Gin has the flavour of Sichuan pepper mixed with eight botanicals (including ginger and lemongrass) and a dash of Thai honey.
