Zhao King Liquor

Zhao King Liquor

　　Zhao King Liquor is a specialty of Hanshan District, Handan City, Hebei Province. Zhao King Liquor adheres to the secret brewing techniques of the royal Zhao state, utilizing a 3,000-year-old original microbial colony passed down through the ancient Fuh River route, and is meticulously crafted using modern technology.

　　The Zhao state boasts a long history and exceptional skill in liquor production. Successive Zhao kings considered brewing techniques a national treasure, recruiting master brewers from all over, personally supervising production, and appointing chief liquor officers to strictly guard against the leakage of these skills. The wines personally overseen by the Zhao kings became famous throughout the land for their premium ingredients, exquisite brewing techniques, and richly aromatic flavors. Due to their limited production, they were revered as "Zhao King Liquor" — the king of Zhao wines. The historical anecdote "Lu wine is weak, thus Handan is besieged" indirectly reflects the popularity of Zhao King Liquor.

　　Ancient Secret Brewing — Lingering Elegance

　　Zhao King Liquor adheres to the secret brewing methods of the royal Zhao state, utilizing a 3,000-year-old original microbial colony passed down through the ancient Fuh River route, and is meticulously crafted using modern technology. Three millennia of unbroken heritage condense into a wisp of time-honored fragrance, rich and enduring.

　　Four Ferments Combined — Strong with a Hint of Soy

　　Zhao King Liquor is brewed using a high-temperature koji-making, high-temperature fermentation, and high-temperature distillation process known as the "three highs." Among them, the high-temperature koji-making process gives the liquor a strong base with a hint of soy aroma; medium-temperature and medium-high-temperature koji promote mold growth, highlighting the strong aroma style; while high-temperature and ultra-high-temperature koji encourage microbial growth, resulting in a soy-aroma lingering finish.

　　Double Cellaring — Mellow and Refined

　　Zhao King Liquor undergoes years of aging and double cellaring to enhance maturity and aroma development. The first stage involves cellar aging of the base liquor, resulting in refined maturity; the second stage is sealed-jar aging, yielding a mellow and refined character.
