Edition No.2, titled 'The Unparalleled', was distilled on the 24th of October 2018 and then matured in an ex-bourbon cask before being bottled in 2022 at 50% ABV yielding only 280 bottles. This whisky's label design and powerful flavour pay homage to the famous Chinese war general Han-Shing, who was honoured with the same title for his incomparable achievements. This whisky is non-peated.

Edition No.3, titled 'The Infinity', was distilled on the 12th of December 2018 and matured in an ex-bourbon cask before being bottled in 2022 at 50.3% yielding 151 bottles. This whisky pays tribute to an important concept in China's intellectual history where 'the infinity' is considered to be the beginning of all things. This edition is peated.

Both bottlings are private cask bottling for Joseph Wang, who is an executive member of the ICS.
