Shui Jing Fang Wellbay
Shui Jing Fang is the Diageo-owned baijiu house of Chengdu, Sichuan, and its claim to history is unusual: in 1998 excavation beneath the distillery uncovered the original production site dating to 1408, when a master distiller named Wang paired his recipe with a well of pristine water, and the Chinese National Cultural Relics Bureau certified it as China's First Baijiu Distillery, the oldest continuously operating one in the country. Wellbay is the house's flagship strong-aroma (nongxiang) baijiu, made from five grains, roughly 36% sorghum with wheat, rice, corn, and glutinous rice, fermented solid-state in underground mud pits whose soil has been in use for over 600 years, distilled in the traditional Sichuan method, and aged in terracotta urns for three to five years before blending. It is bottled at 52% ABV (104 proof) in a hexagonal bottle with six hand-painted scenes of Chengdu, three copper lion-head buttons, and a wooden stand lined with a porcelain lion, which is why it is as often given as a gift as it is opened.
