Art of Making

Yunmen’s luxury Baijiu and Jiang-flavored spirits rely on unique craftsmanship to create the finest Chinese sauces and pastes.

Luxury spirits are not born; they’re made – and that’s a process that never happens by accident. To make the world’s finest Baijiu and Jiang-flavored spirits, Yunmen utilizes processes and techniques that are so highly refined that they’re now an art. Because we have inherited thousands of years of brewing technology and Moutai craftsmanship, Yunmen’s sauce and paste manufacturing is truly unique, with 160 kneading methods and our own “four high, two long, one large” process.

The Craftsmanship involved in Yunmen Spirits

Our craftsmanship relies on high temperatures during all spirit and liquor production. That’s the fundamental principle throughout our “four high, two long, one large” process:

Four High

High temperatures are the key to our craftsmanship, as we make the koji and conduct the fermentation process. In addition, we use high temperature stacking and high temperature flowing spirits.

Two Long

We also rely on a long fermentation time, with one round each year. That second “long” relates to storage time. In the case of Yunmen Baijiu and Jiang-flavored spirits, storage can involve three years or more.

Two Long

One Large

That process is custom-designed to deliver one large batch of fine, luxury spirits for Yunmen customers around the world.

Our Techniques

The Yunmen sauce making process takes time, but that should come as no surprise. The best things in life are always worth the wait. To better understand the techniques used during our spiritmaking process, just consider the following:

Every bottle of Yunmen sauce is the product of a year of making, one year of brewing time, and three years in storage – and that’s only after the time spent locating healthy, fresh ingredients. For us, spirit making is truly a labor of love!

We focus on producing spirits with less volatile substances, as we maintain temperatures of 40 C degrees or higher during the manufacturing process. By reducing volatile substances, our spirits are more beneficial for the body and stimulate better health.

Our sauces contain more acidity – sometimes 3 to 5 times that of other spirits – including acetic and lactic acid. Traditional Chinese medicine maintains that these acids are beneficial for blood vessel, stomach, and liver health. Our sauces’ alcohol content is selected with scientific principles in mind. Generally, sauce alcohol content is roughly 53 percent VOL.

As a naturally fermented product, sauce spirits contain ingredients like SOD and metallothionein. The former has positive benefits for reducing tumors, viral vulnerability, and aging, while the latter can help to protect the liver. Our Baijiu contains a variety of healthy ingredients, including materials like sorghum.
