Ming River Sichuan Baijiu Grain Spirit 70cl
Alc Vol: 45%

Baijiu is unlike any Western spirit with respect to production methods, ingredients, flavor and origin.
Baijiu pronounced bye-j’yo, meaning “white spirits” in Mandarin—is a category that encompasses all traditional Chinese grain spirits.
Baijiu is China’s national drink (meaning ‘clear spirit’).
Ming River Sichuan Baijiu is produced at Luzhou Laojiao, the oldest operating distillery in China. It is made with red sorghum grain, and fermented in earthen pits with naturally harvested yeast cultures. After resting for two months, the mash is distilled in a traditional Chinese pot still.
Baijiu is most commonly distilled from sorghum, but is also often made from rice, wheat, corn and millet. Baijiu production techniques differ significantly by region and style, and different styles of baijiu can be as distinct as whiskey is to tequila.
