Spirits are distilled alcoholic beverages. Distillation is achieved by taking wine or other fermented fruit, plant, or starch material that has been brewed already, converting it into a vapor and then condensing it back into a liquid form. Most spirits are unsweetened, and have an alcohol by volume (ABV) over 20%. Because of their high alcoholic content, spirits and distilled liquors are highly regulated in the United States and most other parts of the world.

There is no clear definition of high-end spirits. According to QYR research, spirits priced above US$160 per box (9 liters per box) can be defined as high-end spirits. In China, high-end baijiu such as Moutai, Wuliangye, and Luzhou Laojiao are the main products.

The sales volume and value of global high-end spirits have been growing steadily over the past 15 years, with sales growth significantly faster than the overall spirits market. In terms of categories, whisky, tequila, and brandy have grown faster than gin and rum, becoming more and more popular.

The high-end upgrading of the global spirits market is a major trend, and the high scarcity and low penetration rate of high-end spirits is the key to sustainable development.
