Dimple Yuen

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Dimple Yuen is the city’s first female gin distiller and cofounder of Two Moons Distillery.

One of her biggest milestones was becoming the first gin from Hong Kong to win silver at the prestigious World Gin Awards 2020 London Dry Gin category. The win came as a result of a twoyear journey working with relevant government parties to acquire all the necessary licenses, equipment and know-hows to establish a gin distillery in Hong Kong.

“As challenging as it was, the entire experience was rewardingly worthwhile and definitely one of the proudest goals I’ve ever achieved,” says Yuen.

“I’m proud to be at the forefront of the distilling industry, putting our city on the map and showcasing local flavours to the world.”

Although gin production is still rather niche in the city, Yuen finds that Hong Kong is a great starting point for anyone to achieve their dreams and encourages

others to take the first step. “Hong Kong is full of people naturally equipped with the city’s ‘can-do spirit’ and the competitive landscape gives rise to new ideas and exciting inspiration.”
