Alcohol Brand Name Creation for Pernod Ricard Group’s New Malt Whisky Distillery – THE CHUAN

Pernod Ricard Group made a significant investment in a new Malt Whisky Distillery in China, demonstrating its commitment to the Chinese market and its desire to introduce iconic products and unique experiences to consumers. The brand sought a Chinese name that would immediately evoke associations with Emei/Emeishan and local culture. Additionally, the alcohol brand name needed to celebrate the fusion of Emeishan’s pristine nature with the craftsmanship of Western whisky-making, while being easily pronounceable in both English and Chinese.
