China's whisky industry just got its first terroir-based regional standard and it's from Qiandao Lake.  

A new sip of Chinese terroir. Chun'an has released the China Whisky Qiandao Lake Production Area Group Standard, unveiled a new regional logo, and launched the country's first whisky industry college. The standard is stricter than national requirements, setting hard thresholds on water source, craft, and industry clustering to define what "Qiandao Lake flavor" really means.
