Kweichow Moutai: A Chinese treasure, a traditional liquor recognized worldwide | SAKEYASU BY STOCKLAB

The pride of the world's three major distilled spirits

Maotai, which originated only in Maotai Town, Guizhou Province, China, has a long history of over 800 years and is celebrated as one of the three major distilled spirits in the world, alongside Scotch whisky and French cognac. In particular, it has established itself as a place to entertain state guests and as an important gift in return, and its rich aroma and unique taste continue to fascinate enthusiasts around the world.

International reputation and recognition

Starting with winning a gold medal at the San Francisco World's Fair in 1915, Moutai has won numerous international awards and established a global reputation. In particular, its use at the ceremony marking the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in 1972 dramatically increased Moutai's popularity in Japan.

The unique recipe of Moutai

The production of Maotai liquor relies solely on the pure water of the Chishui River and the finest raw materials. A long fermentation and aging process lasting more than a year, as well as multiple samplings, creates the complex and rich flavor of this liquor. It takes about five years before it can be shipped, and this long period of time improves the quality of Maotai liquor and guarantees its unique flavor.

The originator of soy-flavored white sake

Moutai, with its clear, deep flavor and strong, sweet aroma, is considered the origin of soy-flavored baijiu. Its alcohol content is between 52 and 54 degrees, and has maintained the lowest alcohol content in its long history. Its taste and efficacy have been loved and prized by many people since ancient times.
