A corrugated texture recalls rock surfaces and Chinese ink painting. The bottle is made of highly translucent crystalline white glass, with a screen printed cap and a label finished with gold and silver stamping on environmentally friendly paper. Slim curved lines improve grip, and the slender neck limits the air entering the bottle, so the spirit can be stored and served several times.
