Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Fortune Three-Colored Cat

Label Story

“Wealth” and “fortune” are always the most desirable things for Chinese people.  In Japan, the emergence of fortune cat is in the late 18th century, since the country is deep influenced by Chinese culture.  Fortune cat is the representation of these two elements, the left paw indicates the fortune is around you and you are being blessed; right paw is welcoming many customers.  Raising both paws is all the store owners favorite, because it brings both fortune and customers.  The first independent bottling brand in Greater China, Or Sileis, launches this appealing collection just before the Chinese New Year.  This collection is finely selected by Julie Lee, the queen of whisky, making sure each single cask whisky 100% corresponds to the symbolic meaning of fortune and wealth, which is to wish each one of you to have a great 2019 !

 Julie Lee received the honor of The Keeper of the Quaich in 2013, and she is the first female Keeper in Greater China.  She is the regular judge of all the major whisky competitions worldwide, and she visits all the distilleries in Scotland, and builds solid relationships with them.  Each kind of spirit is finely selected and approved by herself, and will have the trademark of J certificate, which stands for the guarantee of quality and taste.

Distillery Introduction

Craigellachie distillery is in the center of Speyside.  There is a bridge built up by a famous Scottish engineer, Thomas Telford.  This bridge divides the village into half, and there are two well-known distilleries on the two sides of the bridge.  One is Craigellachie, and the other side is Macallan.  Craigellachie was established in 1891, and has been staying very low profile.  The taste of Craigellachie whisky has a very fresh fruitiness, and been always used as the base liquid of blended whisky.  The still room remains the traditional craftsmanship, which includes worm tubes to cool down the spirit.  The distillery has never considered to follow the trend of modernized production, therefore, it has been named as “old-fashioned whisky’ since 1891.  The single malt Scotch lovers enjoy the Sulphur flavor of Craigellachie whisky.
