Kweichow Moutai Baijiu 200mL
Kweichow Moutai Baijiu 200mL is the 200mL format of the world's most famous baijiu: Kweichow Moutai (Flying Fairy / Feitian), China's flagship sauce-aroma (jiangxiang) baijiu from Maotai town, Renhuai, Guizhou Province. 53% ABV (106 proof), 200mL — the same iconic liquid as the flagship 500mL red-ribbon bottle, in a smaller, occasion-friendly format — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Moutai is the #1 luxury spirits brand in China and the world's most valuable spirits brand: the official state liquor of China, served at state banquets and diplomatic events, made in tiny Maotai town for centuries. It is a clear spirit from fermented sorghum (with premium wheat qu), built on traditional solid-state fermentation in the Maotai town microclimate, distilled multiple times, and aged in earthenware/terracotta urns — about 5 years from raw material to finished bottle for the flagship; production methods are a protected national intangible cultural heritage of China. The 200mL iteration is known as a duty-free travel-retail format (distributed by Camus) and is also sold domestically in the US.
Tasting notes: crystal, pure, and full-bodied in the glass; a savory, powerful nose of stewed cashew, sauerkraut, and twice-baked potatoes, with papaya, biscuit dough, hibiscus, and saffron; a palate of braised beef, Asian pear, pineapple husk, yogurt, and white chocolate, nutty and almond-walnut with slight umami under fiery 106-proof heat; a long, powerful finish of strong baking aroma, nuttiness, and smoke.
Why buy the 200mL Moutai? Because it is the real Flying Fairy — the same flagship sauce-aroma baijiu the world knows — in a format you can actually finish, gift, or open for one proper toast without committing to the 500mL. Browse the Kweichow Moutai brand collection and other fine spirits.
