Born in China. Aged in Kentucky.

East + West brings the aromatic depth of traditional jiàngxiāng báijiǔ together with the warmth and familiarity of American whiskey.

The spirit begins with solid-state fermented red sorghum in Guìzhōu, China. After ceramic aging and refinement, it travels to Kentucky, where it is blended with American whiskey and finished in charred American oak.

The result is smooth, layered, and approachable, with the complexity of báijiǔ and the vanilla, spice, and toasted grain notes whiskey drinkers know and love.

OUR PROCESS

Two traditions. one glass

The East + West Series asks what happens when jiàngxiāng whiskey meets the defining character of Kentucky whiskey.

Each expression brings together cultures, techniques, and flavor traditions to create something balanced, bold, and entirely new.

Not one spirit overpowering the other. Two spirits becoming more together.

Distillation & Refinement

After fermentation, the spirit is carefully distilled and refined to preserve its distinctive floral, savory, and grain-forward qualities. Every step is designed to maintain balance while highlight+ing the depth that makes SHĀNG unique.
