INCREDIBLY RARE SPIRIT FROM CHINA!!
Kweichow Moutai...$189.99 / 200ml
Baijiu (pronounced bye-j’yo) means "white spirits" in Mandarin. The secret ingredient in baijiu is qu (pronounced "chew"), a naturally harvested culture of airborne yeasts and other microorganisms. It makes the taste and scent of every baijiu highly specific to the place it was created. Qu also allows Chinese distillers to ferment and distill grains in a solid state, which creates incredible complexity of flavor. There are nearly a dozen distinctive regional styles of baijiu, but there are four major styles: strong aroma, light aroma, sauce aroma, and rice aroma.
This Kweichow Moutai is distilled 7 times before bottling. Crafted from organic sorghum and quality wheat, you can expect a long lingering fragrance. The production methods used to create this baijiu are both a protected state secret as well as a national intangible cultural heritage of China.
Kweichow Moutai is the most valuable firm outside of technology in China. It is worth more than Toyota, Nike, and Disney! "The drink of diplomacy", Moutai is served at all state organized dinners in China. Presidents Nixon and Obama were both welcomed with pour of this spirit when visiting.
