Guizhou

Kweichow Moutai’s 30 Years Old expression opens with an intense, delicate fragrance and a complex palate, with a subtle smoky note. Made from red sorghum, wheat and water in the town of Maotai, Guizhou, this Chinese baijiu rewards a slow, considered pour. Serve neat in small cups alongside a meal, allowing its fragrance to unfold.

A 1994 bottling of Kweichow Moutai, Guizhou’s celebrated baijiu. Made from sorghum and wheat, its character comes from repeated cycles of fermentation and distillation, followed by careful blending. Bold and complex on the palate, it has a long finish. Serve neat in small cups with food, especially rich dishes with roasted flavours or savoury sauces.
