Kinmen Kaoliang 58° Baijiu (75cl, 58%)

Kinmen Kaoliang 58° Baijiu is a light-aroma (qingxiang) baijiu at 58% ABV in a 750mL bottle from Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Inc., the county-government-owned distillery on Kinmen Island, Taiwan, built in 1952. Made from sorghum, wheat and water, it is the distillery's flagship high-proof expression of a style born when General Hu Lien encouraged sorghum farming on Kinmen during the Chinese Civil War era. Clear, sorghum-fragrant and clean, it is one of Taiwan's most iconic spirits and a staple at celebrations across the island. Clean sorghum fragrance on the nose; a light-aroma profile that is fragrant and full-flavoured without harshness on the palate; a clean and warming finish true to the high-proof style.
