China's Feng-Aroma Tradition, Aged Two Decades
Xifeng is one of China's great historic baijiu houses, and its Rainbow Series bottles by age tier — the Yellow (Jin Qi Cai, "Golden Seven Colors") marks the 20-year expression. Feng-aroma baijiu sits between strong and light styles, with a distinctive clean-yet-complex profile prized by connoisseurs. Two decades of jar aging deepen the spirit into something remarkably smooth for 52%. Browse the Xi Feng Jiu collection and Del Mesa's high-proof clear spirits shelf.

How to Enjoy
Served neat at room temperature in small glasses, the traditional way — pairs beautifully with roasted duck, lamb, and rich Chinese dishes. Baijiu is a sipping spirit; small pours, slow conversation.
