Liverpool is home to the oldest Chinese community
in Europe. From the first Shanghai and Cantonese
seamen arriving in the 1850s, through to families from Hong
Kong immigrating a hundred years later, the bonds of friendship
and blood have overcome many trials and tribulations.
Liverpool’s Imperial Arch, the largest outside of China and a gift from the
people of Shanghai stands as an imposing testimony to the strong links
and the twinning of the two Cities.
To mark this friendship Middle Kingdom Gin has been crafted in a small
local distillery only a stone’s throw from the Arch.
Produced in limited quantities this premium gin has a smooth rounded
taste, the botanicals including honesty (also known as ‘Chinese coins’),
orange and jasmine tea bring subtle hints of the Orient to this very
British drink which celebrates the meeting of two cultures.
