千年文化，因酒生动。中国四大老牌名白酒之一的西凤酒，起源于6000多年前的仰韶文化时期，形成于3000多年前的殷商晚期，盛于唐宋，发展于明清，鼎盛于当代。采用凤香型白酒传统酿造工艺，无论从原粮采购、凤香六字发酵工艺，还是西凤独有的酒海储存等，均按照凤香型白酒相关规定严格把关和操作执行，是坚持凤香自信最有力的守护者。其酒体清亮透明，醇香秀雅，有典型的酒海陈酿味，入口醇厚丰满，诸味谐调，味净悠长，凤香型风格突出，是典型的传统凤香型的代表。

Xifeng Jiu embodies the essence of time-honored craftsmanship, utilizing traditional fermentation methods with a blend of barley, wheat, and peas as starter materials and sorghum as the primary brewing ingredient. Rice husks play a crucial role in adjusting the starch concentration and acidity of the mash, promoting efficient distillation and fermentation. The ideal husks are petal-shaped, non-sticky, and elastic, contributing to the liquor's clarity and purity. Water used in the brewing process is sweet and transparent, aiding the saccharification of koji enzymes, while the koji itself, primarily made from barley, is meticulously fermented and stored to enhance the liquor's quality and flavor profile.
The production of Xifeng Jiu employs a unique technique that dates back to the Tang Dynasty, involving the use of a large liquor container known as JiuHai. This intricate process takes approximately six months, resulting in a distinctive vessel characterized by its rectangular shape, round mouth, curved shoulders, deep belly, and flat bottom. The JiuHai allows for both internal and external ventilation, which facilitates flavor enhancement—leaking when in contact with water and developing a fragrant aroma when in contact with wine. This method contributes to the signature Feng-flavor style that defines Xifeng Jiu.
西凤酒是时间与传统工艺的完美结合，采用大麦、小麦和豌豆作为制曲原料，主料为高粱，辅料为稻壳。稻壳在酿造过程中起着调节淀粉浓度和酸度的作用，使酒醅保持适当的疏松度和氧气含量，促进蒸馏与发酵的顺利进行。西凤酒要求原料颜色金黄，新鲜干燥，无霉味和杂味，且稻壳需呈瓣状、无黏连、坚韧且富有弹性。此外，西凤酒酿造所用的水质清澈透明，口感甘美，能够有效促进酒曲酶的糖化，水是优质酒的基础。
西凤酒的另一独特之处在于其酒海封藏工艺，这一技艺可以追溯到唐代，制作过程需要约半年时间。成品的酒海为长方体，具有圆口、弧肩、深直腹和平底的特征，固定在井字形的木架上。酒海内部通气良好，能够在与水接触时渗漏，与酒接触时散发香气，经过长时间储存，酒香愈发浓郁。这样的封藏工艺不仅赋予了西凤酒独特的凤香型风格，也使其在市场中独树一帜，成为传统工艺与现代品味的完美结合。
