Shede Spirits: Spirit of China
Shede Founder’s Tribute is the result of a partnership between Camus International and the Chinese spirits manufacturer Shede Spirits, a leading company in the premium Baijiu segment. Production takes place in the southern Chinese province of Sichuan, in a well-maintained ecology park where the traditional Tai’An workshop is located, a part of Chinese culinary heritage – the oldest fermenting pits date back to the Ming Dynasty.
Cyril Camus lived in China in the middle of the 1990s, where he got to know Baijiu. Convinced of the potential of the ‘national spirit’, he launched Kweichow Moutai on the market. The search for new taste profiles signified the birth of the brand ‘Spirit of China’ and Shede was chosen – Founder’s Tribute is its international debut.
In the selection of the raw ingredients – sorghum, rice, sticky rice, wheat, barley and maize – sorghum, the main component, provides the characteristic aroma while the others add complexity and round it off. After the harvest, the grain is steeped and steamed with hot water to open the husk. After cooling, qu is added to aid in fermentation. Fresh grains are pressed into bricks with qu and stored in warm cellars, where microbial cultures flourish. After the fermentation, the grains are removed in layers and distilled by steaming. The basic spirit matures in terracotta containers and is then mixed with 15-year-old vintage Baijiu. In accordance with the principle of ‘sacrifice to gain’, 98% of the raw distillate is sacrificed to preserve the essential 2%. The largest reserve of premium Baijiu in the world is stored in the maturation cellars – over 120,000 tons.
At the World Spirits Award, gold was awarded to Sichuan Strong Aroma Baijiu – Shede Founder’s Tribute.

Luding Group: Vodka Tchaikovsky as a high-spirited homage to the famous composer
At the beginning of the 1990s, the modern distillery ‘Fortuna’ was launched in a green field in the south of Russia – in the Krasnodar region, a strip of land with spa resorts and health centres. The distillery has specialised in unusual products, in a region with a particularly green fingerprint. The vodka created in honour of the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky is special. The concept for this exceptional product is comparable with one of his musical scores: the work ‘Swan Lake’ served as an inspiration. Art enthusiasts can thus immerse themselves in the history of Russian estate life in the 19th century. The traditional white and blue colours underline the purity of this vodka.
The technical particularities span a wide quality-orientated spectrum: from the selected wheat, their own well water and the special treatment of the distillate with skimmed milk powder to the crystal-clear filtration with active birch coal. With so much perfectionism and monitoring of the individual production steps, the result is an especially gentle, animating and very typical vodka based on wheat. After the diluting of alcohol and pure distillate, the production process is continued with maturation in steel tanks. The aim is to ‘wed’ both ‘waters’, resulting in an especially harmonious vodka.
At the World Spirits Award 2022, Vodka Tchaikovsky was awarded double gold and honoured as the best vodka with the title ‘Spirit of the Year’.
