Ming River Sichuan Baijiu

This spirit is wonderfully versatile working well chilled and in cocktails — may we suggest the Baiju Colada or Brazilian Batida.

Judges thought aromatics and palate were disparate, yet equally pleasing. The sum absolutely works delivering complex and alluring flavors.

Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are intense, giving aromas of tropical fruit, mineral, and earth with supporting notes of mineral, earth, and sudachi. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering an earth-driven core with supporting flavors of tropical fruit, straw, and hard cheese. The finish is long. Full-bodied and ideally balanced with an oily texture.
