About Qifu,
in short.

Qifu is a family distillery in Mianzhu, Sichuan, China. The family has run it since 1978 and registered the company in 2001. It makes traditional strong-aroma (Nongxiang) baijiu. Mingchang Ji has led the distillery for more than 30 years.

Qifu (齐福) means “blessings, all together” — the moment when family and friends raise their glasses at the same time.

Qifu is strong-aroma (Nongxiang) baijiu made from pure grain: solid-state fermentation in yellow-mud pits under a red-grain cap for about two months (around 60 days), distillation in a traditional zeng still with the spirit graded as it runs, ageing in clay jars and blending by a master blender.

Bainian Qifu · 8 is Qifu’s flagship: a strong-aroma baijiu at 52% vol in a 500 ml red porcelain bottle with a red gift box and gold calligraphy, made from five grains — sorghum, wheat, rice, glutinous rice and corn. It is smooth on entry with a lingering sweetness, full pit aroma and a nutty, caramel-like finish.

The range includes the flagship Bainian Qifu · 8; the old-pit series Qifu Laojiao 15 and 20 years; Jin Qifu for everyday drinking; the export bottling Shun Tun (52% vol, 500 ml); and Qifu Shaofang strong-aroma base spirit.

Qifu is made in Mianzhu, Deyang, Sichuan, at the foot of the Longmen Mountains — a region with glacier-fed springs, more than 1,200 mm of rain a year and sticky, slightly acidic yellow clay; old fermentation pits host over a thousand species of microbes. In 2019 the China Alcoholic Drinks Association named Mianzhu a “World Fine Spirits Characteristic Region”.

Qifu exports to Europe, Africa and Asia. The export bottling Shun Tun is listed at Systembolaget in Sweden.

Use small cups, sip slowly, drink with food and keep water alongside; room temperature shows the pit aroma best. Please drink in moderation, never drink and drive, and only if you are of legal drinking age.
