Pincer Shanghai Strength Vodka: Scotland’s Gift to China
This Scottish-made vodka intended for Chinese markets hits 88.8% ABV. The clean flavor profile carries hints of milk thistle and elderflower that add subtle herbal notes. Most people use it in cocktails or carefully diluted shots. A 700ml bottle costs $40-60. The marketing oddly positions it as “health-conscious” due to its botanical infusions. You’ll rarely spot this outside Asian markets. The specific percentage wasn’t chosen randomly—8 symbolizes prosperity in Chinese culture.
