Archaeologists found a bronze vessel containing distilled liquor dating back over 3,000 years .

The vessel was excavated in 2010 at the Daxinzhuang Ruins in Jinan City , Shandong province, a key site for studying Shang civilization.

Researchers needed several years to open the vessel, which had been sealed with rust for more than a decade , a process that took nearly 15 years due to severe corrosion.

A sample of the liquid was analyzed at the International Joint Laboratory of Environmental and Social Archaeology Research .
