Brand Story
Yongfeng liquor originates from Beijing, with a history dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to legend, the Yongfeng distillery was founded in the Ming dynasty and became renowned in the capital for its烧酒 (shaojiu, or distilled liquor). During the Qing dynasty, Yongfeng liquor was selected as a tribute for the imperial court, earning the favor of the royal family. In the Republican era, the distillery continued to uphold traditional brewing methods. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yongfeng Distillery was established, carrying forward these time-honored techniques and becoming a symbol of Beijing's liquor culture. Made primarily from sorghum, Yongfeng liquor undergoes solid-state fermentation and distillation, resulting in a full-bodied spirit with a long, satisfying finish. Its brewing craftsmanship integrates the essence of northern Chinese liquor culture, reflecting Beijing's regional character. More than just a beverage, Yongfeng liquor serves as a vessel of Beijing's history and culture, witnessing the city's transformation and the legacy of its liquor heritage.
