Tiananmen Gold Jiang Jiu Baijiu (1L)

Tiananmen Gold is a sauce-flavour (jiangxiang) baijiu from the Huadu Distillery in Beijing, in a 1 litre bottle. Jiang Jiu is the Chinese name for the sauce-aroma category. Huadu developed the style between 1975 and 1980 with guidance from Moutai's own technicians, and it was marketed as Beijing Moutai. The style rests on long pit fermentation of sorghum and wheat. The nose is roasted sorghum and fermented grain, with a savoury, soy-sauce-like note and hints of toasted nuts. The palate is full-bodied and warm, savoury and intense, with dark umami depth and a sweet grain counterpoint. The finish is long, warming and savoury.
