I can't tell you how many times have i seen this Liquor/wine and thought it was whisky. I has appeared in every auction i am involved, with such ridiculous high prices, that i caught my attention.
Moutai Baiju, is China's best selling alcoholic beverage. It is made out of wheat and sorghum. And this particular one was bottled at 53%abv.
On the nose, it starts with aniseed, Merthiolate; it smells exactly as a Welsh grape juice. Wheat and currant.
On the palate, it is quite spicy, with grape and rice notes.
Aftertaste is very medicinal, like Merthiolate notes.
Overall, it felt more like a wine that something else. I really liked it, but it is nothing to die for, and under no circumstance this should go for the price is going nowadays, which is +300. The best thing of this dram, is that i got it for free, and now i can cross it out from my bucket list. My score for it is 83 over 100.
