Ming River - Sichuan Baijiu - 45%

The Luzhou Laojiao Distillery is located in Luzhou, Sichuan Province, China . In the 1950s, Luzhou Laojiao published the first modern guide to baijiu production, which inspired distillers across China. The team behind Ming River Sichuan Baijiu (Bill Isler, Matthias Heger and Derek Sandhaus) met in China, united by a passion for baijiu (meaning "white spirits" in Mandarin). The techniques deployed in baijiu production vary widely by region and style, and different styles of baijiu can be completely distinct. The secret ingredient in baijiu is 'qu', a naturally harvested culture of airborne yeast and other microorganisms. This makes the taste and smell of each baijiu very specific to where it was created. The qu also allows Chinese distillers to ferment and distill the beans in a solid state, which creates incredible flavor complexity.

Baijiu Ming River is made with locally harvested red sorghum grain and the purest waters from protected wells. It is fermented in earthen pits with naturally harvested yeast cultures originating from Luzhou which impart the distinctive terroir of Sichuan-style baijiu. After two months, the grain mash is dug up and distilled in small batches using a traditional Chinese pot still. This spirit presents notes of pineapple and anise with a lingering finish. It can be enjoyed neat as an accompaniment to spicy cuisine or in a cocktail.
