Welcome to The Orientalist Spirits, where the ancient charm of the Orient meets the sophistication of modern distillation. Founded by Michel Lu, a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for the extraordinary, our journey transcends mere spirit production - it's an odyssey through the mystical Silk Road, culminating in a collection of the world’s finest artisanal spirits.
Michel Lu, the driving force behind The Orientalist Spirits, is a man of many talents and achievements. His diverse background ranges from managing iconic supermodels in Elite Model Management Asia to venturing into the realms of tech, fashion, entertainment, and the culinary arts. Michel’s passion for mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs and his inclusion in The Straits Times’ “Power List” speaks volumes about his visionary leadership.
At The Orientalist Spirits, we pride ourselves on being the world's first premium pan-Asian craft spirits company. Our award-winning collection is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation:
Origins Vodka: The world’s first triple blended vodka, Origins Vodka is a Pan-Asian marvel. Crafted with longan honey from Taiwan, Tibetan highland barley, and a variety of potatoes, it is proofed with ultra-soft water from Japan’s Sakurajima Peninsula. This vodka offers a creamy texture, aromatic sweetness, and a touch of earthy scents.
Dragon Whisky: An 8-year-old double wood matured blend, our Dragon Whisky harmonizes whiskies from Japan, Taiwan, and India. Its deep amber hue and rich flavors of dried fruits and dark chocolate are complemented by notes of vanilla, raisin, and a hint of spice and smoke.
Gunpowder Gin: A contemporary gin infused with the miracle of Gunpowder Tea. Blended with 23 different botanicals, it offers a crisp and sophisticated taste, perfect for classic cocktails.
Imperial Solera 23 Rum: Launched in Spring 2023, this hand-crafted rum is aged using the classic Solera process, blending rums aged 6 to 23 years from Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia.
The Orientalist Spirits is more than a brand; it's a celebration of Asian heritage and craftsmanship. Each of our spirits is carefully crafted to capture the essence of the Orient, delivering an unparalleled taste experience. Our spirits are currently enjoyed at prestigious venues across London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, reflecting our growing international presence.
