Pernod Ricard Emeishan Malt Whisky Distillery | Neri&Hu

Pernod Ricard Emeishan Malt Whisky Distillery, designed by Neri&Hu, is officially breaking ground today on the site of China's first ever iconic malt whisky distillery, the first distillery from an international spirits and winery group.

如恩设计的保乐力加（Pernod Ricard）峨眉山麦芽威士忌酒厂今日于峨眉山正式破土动工。该项目将成为国际知名烈酒葡萄酒集团-- 保乐力加位于中国的第一处威士忌酒厂，也是有史以来中国最具代表性的麦芽威士忌酒厂。

From the conception of the project, Neri&Hu's objective was to strike a harmonious balance between the architecture and the landscape, between industry and visitor experience, between mountain and water. The project embodies the essentially Chinese concept of the dichotomy of two elements that exist in opposition yet complement each other.

自项目概念阶段伊始，如恩致力于寻求建筑基地与山水景观、工业酿造与游客体验、自然风土与纯净流水之间的和谐平衡。项目的建筑设计部分也体现了中国传统二元对立理念，万物既统一、又对立。

Neri&Hu will design the distillery as a new cultural icon that celebrates the local culture and the brand's spirit of innovation - allowing people to discover the beauty of Emeishan through a new lens. The Distillery will also house an immersive visitor centre, scheduled to open in 2021.

如恩冀望保乐力加峨眉山麦芽威士忌酒厂能够成为峨眉山全新的文化地标建筑，弘扬悠久恒远的峨眉文化同时，巧妙凝结保乐力加品牌的创新精神，为访客提供探索峨眉景观全新的体验。酒厂建筑区内还包括一栋提供沉浸式体验的游客中心，将于2021年向公众开放。
