Did you know the world’s most popular spirit is one that few people in the UK have heard of, never mind tried? Baijiu.

Amathus Wimbledon is delighted to be hosting a sampling session with Fenjiu, purportedly China’s oldest Baijiu brand, with 6,000 years of history.

Made from three basic ingredients – sorghum, qu and water – Baijiu was traditionally enjoyed neat throughout meals, but today is also used as the base for premium cocktails. Fenjiu exemplifies the very approachable “light-aroma” style, offering a clean nose, full body and long finish.

Join Qiqi, Yiru and Samantha from Fenjiu Baijiu to learn about the drink’s history and the complex production methods behind it – and of course to sample the Baijiu itself. As well as offering neat samples, the team will be mixing up a Baijiu Negroni, a Rose Highball and a Bamboo Garden for you to try.
