Guijiu Tianqing Baiju - 500 ml
Introduction
Guijiu-Tianqing is a premium sauce-aroma (Jiang-fragrance) Baijiu produced in the prestigious Maotai Town of Guizhou Province, China. The spirit is crafted by Shanghai Guijiu, a brand that blends the rigorous traditions of ancient Chinese brewing—specifically the complex '12987' production cycle involving multiple fermentations and distillations—with a modern, elegant philosophy. The name 'Tianqing' refers to the distinct 'sky blue' aesthetic of the packaging, symbolizing clarity and high ambition.
Spirit Description
The liquid is crystal clear and colorless in the glass, displaying excellent viscosity. The nose is refined and elegant, offering a sophisticated balance of deep floral aromas and sandalwood, layered over the characteristic savory notes of fermented soy and umami found in sauce-aroma spirits. On the palate, it is unexpectedly smooth and velvety for its strength, revealing complex flavours of ripe tropical fruits, toasted nuts, and a subtle spice. The finish is long, warming, and enduring, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of savoury grains and sweetness. It is bottled at 53% ABV.
Food Pairing
This Baijiu is best enjoyed neat at room temperature to appreciate its complex aroma. It is a classic partner for bold and spicy Chinese cuisine, such as Sichuan-style Kung Pao chicken or a rich braised pork belly (Hong Shao Rou), where the spirit's savoury power cuts through the fat and heat. It also pairs surprisingly well with aged parmesan cheese or dark chocolate desserts due to its umami depth.
