among the most legendary of oud regions
Hainan
Among the most legendary of oud regions is Hainan, today famed for its cultivation of some really fine Chinese agarwood and of course its spectacular landscape.
The pinnacle for the mainland collectors is really old vintage Hainan. It eludes us continuously, fetching sums of money beyond heavy SQ sinking batches and sometimes even kinam itself.
To distill an oil from truly wild vintage material is a dream of every artisan and distiller, and to own such oils is indeed the pinnacle for every collector out there. But what if it could be Hainan? It would take not only money, but rather longstanding ties and an enormous amount of luck.
a novelty in oud
Taiwan
For those that know, Taiwan is where the greatest batches of agarwood are kept. The greatest of distillers have always been Taiwanese, and with access to such beautiful material, their creations are truly like no other.
It is no wonder then that the best of these kinam like oils hail from Taiwan, a special region with an agarwood tradition stretching back centuries with its own unique nuances. The collections here are perhaps the greatest in the world; it's no surprise that such a unique vintage wood distillation was concocted here.
the finest sources
vintage material
The key to distilling great oud oil lies in the source material curated for such feats. The finest vintage materials are held by only a few today, difficult to obtain and released only to those deemed worthy.
This process enables those of us with the right vision to obtain otherwise impossible materials, allowing us to continue distilling phenomenal oils that would be impossible to craft for most.
