To this day, Kweichow Moutai is frequently offered as an official state gift. A white spirit, Moutai can only be produced in the village of Moutai in southwestern Guizhou province. Indeed, in 2001 it was declared the first controlled appellation of origin in China. The unique and protected environment around Moutai village and the strict respect of traditional production methods using local sorghum, wheat and water ensures superior product quality. Kweichow Moutai, considered to be one of the world’s finest spirits, is the result of a meticulous five-year long production and ageing process during which the spirit slowly develops its fine, round and elegant soy aromas, with a full aftertaste and great aromatic persistence. Kweichow Moutai Small Batch Blend is carefully blended by a team of master blenders from among the finest individual batches to ensure a perfect harmony of taste and aromas. Small Batch Blend is a duty-free exclusive which offers regular Moutai drinkers an opportunity to upgrade to a premium blend. It is not sold in China and only produced in strictly limited quantities, making it rare, unique and ideal as a prestigious gift that is sure to honor and delight the recipient. Kweichow Moutai Co. Ltd. is the only authorized producer of this controlled appellation product.
