Shanxi Xinghuacun Fenjiu Distillery Co. Ltd. (Chinese: 山西杏花村汾酒厂股份有限公司) more commonly known as simply Xinghuacun Fenjiu (Chinese: 杏花村汾酒) is a baijiu distillery headquartered in Xinghuacun, Fenyang, Shanxi, China. The primary output of the distillery, Fenjiu, is a qīngxiāng (清香; light aroma) style baijiu[3] that was one of the "Four Famous Spirits" as determined in the 1952 National Alcohol Appraisal Conference, assigning it as the representative of the eponymously named fēnxiāng (汾香; fen aroma) category that preceded the modern qingxiang (清香;light aroma) style designation.[4] As of 2023 Xinghuacun Fenjiu is the third most valuable spirits brand in the world.[5]

History

The production of grain wine in alcohol in Xinghua village began about 6,000 years ago according to recent archaeological findings.[6] Over the centuries, as the processes of saccharification and fermentation were improved upon, a predecessor to the modern Fenjiu, Fenqingjiu, was developed during the Tang dynasty and received praise in the Book of Northern Qi.[7] The process of fermentation and distillation developed in Xinghua Village became an increasingly cohesive and finalized technique that much resembled the Fengjiu during the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1368). During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) merchants from Shanxi began to travel across China and spread both Fenjiu and the techniques of distillation which gave rise to what would become the Qīngxiāng (清香; light aroma) style of baijiu.[7][8] In 1919, the Jinyu Fenjiu Corporation was established as one of the first modern distilleries in China and it was upon this foundation that the Xinghuacun Fenjiu Distillery was founded in 1949 during the Chinese Civil War shortly before proclamation of the People's Republic of China.[7][9] Today the distillery has been engaged in a project of international expansion with products now appearing for sale in more than 60 countries.[10] Currently Xinghuacun Fenjiu sits at #462 on the Chinese Fortune 500.[11]
