Honoring the Six Time-Honored Traditions, Crafted Through Eco-Brewing
Shede Spirits - China's Pioneer in Ecological Brewing, Inheriting Millennium-Old Craftsmanship, Forging Premium Quality
Eight Pillars of Ecological Brewing
Shede Spirits has established the "Shede Eight Quality Codes", composed of ecological terroir, ecological water sources, ecological yeast, ecological raw grains, ecological ancient cellars, ecological brewing techniques, ecological aging and ecological bottling.
Nestled on the mystical 30° North Latitude, we embrace four overlapping brewing ecosystems. The integrated ecological environment of climate, soil and water sources provides an ideal habitat for brewing microorganisms.
Ecological Water Sources
Our water comes from the Fujiang River, formed by melting snow from Xuebaoding Peak (5,588m above sea level) in the Minshan Mountains. After three-stage purification, it becomes high-quality small-molecule active water that promotes human metabolism.
Ecological Yeast
Inheriting the ancient yeast-making techniques from Taihe Qu Jing (The Classic of Taihe Yeast), we have developed the exclusive "211" yeast-making process. The resulting strong-aroma yeast features three distinctive characteristics: golden color, golden ring and golden spots.
Ecological Raw Grains
We select ecological raw grains from premium grain-producing regions. Combined with our exclusive "Six-Grain Strong-Aroma Process" and unique six-grain formula, our base liquor possesses the unparalleled mellow, sweet, clean and refreshing style.
We own more than 10,000 ancient fermentation pits. Among them, the pits built in 1563 during the Ming Dynasty (approximately 460 years old) and the pits from the Tai'an Workshop of the Qing Dynasty are still in use, making them "living cultural relics" of fermentation vessels.
Ecological Brewing Techniques
Our "Two Slows and One Clear" brewing process: Slow fermentation in pits — slow start, steady middle, gentle finish; slow-fire distillation, quality-based liquor selection, and graded storage, forming a unique brewing style.
Ecological Aging
We boast an abundant reserve of aged liquor. Since 1976, we have reserved 10%-20% of high-quality base liquor annually for strategic storage. As of 2024, we have accumulated 120,000 tons of premium aged liquor.
Ecological Packaging
As a key smart manufacturing initiative, we have built a 20,000-square-meter intelligent packaging workshop, realizing intelligent, automated and green packaging processes.
