醇 carries the alcohol radical 酉, pointing to aged mellow spirits. 厚 means thick or generous. Together they describe a deep smooth richness — of flavor or of character.
厚 — cliff 厂 + 子 over 日 (sun) component
Originally depicted a tall, thick mound or cliff (厂) with layered earth beneath, showing depth and substance. The core meaning 'thick' extended metaphorically to 'generous,' 'deep,' or 'kind-hearted.' Today 厚 commonly means thick (in dimension) or sincere/generous in character.
