In just 3 years, we've created what's never existed in 150 years of whisky history—a premium spirit that will forever change global perceptions of Chinese craftsmanship.
While the demand for world-class Chinese spirits continues to grow, others distilleries have had limited impact by imitating Western brands. Guqi isn't an imitation—it's innovation built on authentic Chinese heritage.
