Lion dances has long been expected performances during celebrations and festivities. The climax act of lion dances is often the "rich acquisition", which represents good-will and the expectation of prosperity.

Lion dance has been identified as cultural inheritance in which practitioners are martial art performers. The yellow, red, and black colored themes represent the well known Three Kingdom characters – Liu, Guan, and Zheng. The gongs, drums, and cymbals create lively atmospheres to accompany the martial art acts, to help represent the emotions and thoughts of a dancing lion.

Our 11 years old Benrinnes is filled with apple pie, cream, and honey notes, completed with a label that meld Hong Kong tradition with modern art, bringing you new experiences.
