MB Distillery by Yan Zi and Evan

A few days ago (March 12, 2025), Cheng Chang and Guo Ying went to Yan Zi and Evan's "MB Distillery" for the first time. I had always known about it before, and I had also seen their distilled liquor at Pu Shi Baking, but my understanding was limited. I don't understand alcohol, and I don't drink alcohol. But Xiaochun said it was great, he opened a professional whiskey bar.

There, I listened to the conversation between Yan Zi and Cheng Chang, and felt her and Evan's love and enthusiasm. They basically put their energy into production and did not put too much energy into marketing: When I asked where I could see their online store, Yan Zi said: Until now, they have been using WeChat.

However, I came back and read the public account written by Yan Zi. I found that he spent a lot of effort and very frankly recorded his family's feelings in the practice of distilled liquor, as well as his own understanding, successes and setbacks. It was great and I could see a lot of sincere and valuable experiences.

According to Yan Zi's records, MB Distilling started experimenting in 2017 and built a factory in 2020. They have been practicing and experimenting non-stop, with both success and setbacks. They have received a lot of recognition for liqueurs and rum, and they are satisfied and have a great sense of accomplishment. They are also working hard to explore the direction of whiskey.

I understand that doing something is to create something with your own characteristics and explore your own thoughts. It is not "professional authority and arrogance". No matter what field, looking at history and space, no one can be arrogant. If it is a sincere exploration, with your own understanding and progress, it is the most valuable, and what others have done can be used as inspiration and reference.

So I recommend MB Distillery here, and welcome everyone to buy it and try it. If you come to Dali and like wine, you can also make an appointment with Yanzi to visit their MB Distillery (map location).
