Born over five hundred years ago from ancient artisans, Kweichow Moutai Baijiu has risen to become a central part of Chinese culture as the #1 luxury brand in China, and the #1 most valuable Spirits Brand Worldwide. Moutai is made from organic sorghum and premium wheat harvested during the summer solstice Dragon Boat Festival, then distilled and blended with up to 200 spirits and aged for at least 3 years in terracotta pots. Steeped with tradition, Moutai is consumed in groups during a toast using half-ounce baijiu glasses. With its bold yet balanced flavor, Moutai pairs best with spicy and rich foods, savory sauces, and grilled meats.
As the most prestigious baijiu of China, it is the first choice used by government officials and business elites to entertain distinguished foreign and domestic counterparts.
Moutai is the most prestigious of the Chinese liquors and, along with Scotch whisky and French brandy, the most popular liqueur in the world.
Its production is seasonal. To obtain a drop of this liquor, at least three years of processing are required. The process includes various distillation stages, such as distillation and blending according to traditional techniques developed over centuries of experience, and up to 9 fermentation and distillation cycles.
