Kweichow Moutai Flying Fairy 53% [2023][500ML]

Description

Looking for the most prestigious baijiu that Chinese dignitaries and business leaders have celebrated with for over 2000 years?

Kweichow Moutai Flying Fairy represents the pinnacle of Chinese distilling artistry, crafted through an extraordinary process that takes five full years from grain to bottle. This sauce-aroma baijiu undergoes the legendary “987” method – steamed 9 times, fermented 8 times, and distilled 7 times – creating complexity that rivals the finest aged spirits. Unlike simpler alternatives such as Kinmen Kaoliang Premium Liquor, Moutai’s intricate production delivers unmatched depth and sophistication.

• Distillery: Kweichow Moutai – China’s most revered state-owned distillery since Qing Dynasty
• Region: Guizhou Province – protected Maotai region with unique terroir
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for smooth sipping and traditional toasting
• Volume: 500ml
• Maturation: Minimum 5-year aging in traditional cellars
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals delicate flowers, grass, and dried fruits with mellow aromatics. Palate delivers rich soy sauce complexity, sweet pear, walnut, and almond notes with honey undertones and a remarkably long, lingering finish
• Best Served: Room temperature in small ceramic cups for traditional appreciation

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has evaluated countless premium spirits, and this Flying Fairy expression consistently impresses with its elegant sauce aroma profile that maintains the famous “empty-cup fragrance” hours after serving.
