Let the islands speak—the terroir-inspired gin "Yuyu" officially debuts.

If a bottle of spirits could speak, give it the time of one sip and listen to how it describes Taiwan. In 2026, ABAS proudly introduces its debut release: the terroir-inspired gin “YUYU.” Crafted on a base of Taiwanese sorghum spirit and refined through meticulous distillation, this expression translates the island’s landscapes into a drinkable language of flavor.

The Aroma of an Island — A Journey in Three Notes

Unlike traditional gin, YUYU features natural extracts of black tea and pomelo blossom from Miaoli, creating a layered aromatic profile that unfolds beautifully:

Opening Note:
Classic juniper leads the way, accompanied by the fresh scent of bamboo leaves—like a gentle breeze through a forest, inviting exploration.

Heart Note:
Bright citrus aromas bloom at the center, evoking the vitality of Taiwan’s island orchards.

Finish:
Pomelo blossom and bamboo leaves softly intertwine, leaving a calm tea-like depth with a hint of honey sweetness and a lingering floral aftertaste.

From Sorghum to Gin — Redefining a Taiwanese Style

Instead of neutral grain alcohol, YUYU is built on a base of Taiwanese sorghum spirit, giving it a fuller and smoother body. The result is not only a journey of flavor, but also a bold step by ABAS artisans to bring Taiwan’s culture, landscape, and craftsmanship onto the global stage.

About YUYU

From bamboo forests and citrus groves to lingering tea aromas, YUYU captures the diverse character of Taiwan in a single bottle—turning every raised glass into a heartfelt conversation with the island.
