Yes.
Lai Maojiu and Moutai have the same origin, a bit like Lafite and Little Lafite.
In 1941, Lai Yongchu purchased "Hengchang Shaofang" as a sole proprietor, renovated and expanded it and renamed it "Hengxing Shaofang", using the word "Laimao" as the trademark name of his products. In the spring of 1953, all three Moutai giants merged and transferred to the state-owned Moutai Distillery.
At the end of the last century, the state-owned Moutai Distillery no longer retained the right to use the Lai Mao brand, and people in the Lai family began to resume use, including the children, grandchildren and grandchildren of the three brothers Lai Yongchu, Lai Guishan and Lai Yusheng. A factory was built to produce Laimao liquor, and some distilleries in Maotai Town and Renhuai City also produced Laimao liquor. Seeing that the market recognized the Laimao brand highly, a large number of companies producing Laimao liquor appeared in various places. At present, there are more than 100 large-scale manufacturers of "Lai Mao" liquor. In addition, there are many small workshops or small factories producing Lai Mao liquor.
