Hengshui Laobaigan selects high-quality sorghum, wheat, and other grains as raw materials, ensuring the taste and quality of the liquor. During the brewing process, it adopts the method of fermentation in mud cellars, where the raw materials are placed in cellars made of soil for natural fermentation. This is a unique feature of Hengshui Laobaigan and an important reason for its rich and mellow taste. The unique feature of its production is the use of pure wheat medium-temperature koji without the need for wetting agents and no addition of mother koji. The moisture content during koji molding is low (30% to 32%). It is mainly produced using tray koji, with a small amount of ground koji as a supplement. Its characteristics are an elegant fragrance, natural harmony, a soft and mellow flavor, and a lingering aftertaste.
Generation after generation, the people behind Hengshui Laobaigan have inherited tradition, innovated with technology, provided honest services, and pursued excellence. They have developed a unique craftsmanship characterized by using warm fermentation with wheat, fermentation in earthen jars, continuous fermentation with replenished materials, mixed steaming, and mixed roasting in traditional kilns, resulting in a mellow and elegant taste, a harmonious body, a sweet and mellow flavor, and a long-lasting aftertaste. Among consumers, it enjoys a reputation for being strong but not overpowering, light but not bland, comfortable to drink, and not causing excessive intoxication. The company and its products have been awarded titles such as China Time-Honored Brand, Representative of Chinese Baijiu with Laobaigan Flavor, and National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
衡水老白干选用优质的高粱、小麦等粮食作为原料，确保了酒的口感和品质。酿造过程中采用泥窖发酵，即将原料放入由土壤构成的窖池中进行自然发酵，这是衡水老白干的一个独特之处，也是其酒质醇厚、口感浓郁的重要原因。其生产所用大曲独具特色：纯小麦中温曲；原料不用润料；不添加母曲；曲坯成型时水分含量低(30 %～32 %)；以架子曲生产为主,辅以少量地面曲。它的特点是香气清雅，自然协调，绵柔醇调，回味悠长。
