This is a discount offering from Wuliangye – it’s a little rough around the edges, but has a nice complicated flavor profile. To our palate, this is less wheatey than the other Wuliangyes that we’ve tried! It’s got a light burn, a fairly mild funkiness, and a prominent sweetness that starts out like a caramel […]
Here’s a great writeup on the Ly family, who create Vinn baijiu. Read the article – and then try the baijiu!
[ed. note: this review comes in from brent1334 – thanks Brent! ] This aged light-aroma baijiu pours clear, lest anyone think its aging was done in barrels. It has a nutty aroma with sweet-potato undertones. The pallet surprisingly comes across to me as a single flavor note: a sweet but mellow nuttiness similar to […]

Famously, their baijiu is stored in the large Tianbao cave system. They’re in Sichuan Province (of course), home of the strong aroma category. But this baijiu – the HongHua […]
This baijiu – I don’t really know which aroma category this belongs to, but it seems like a light aroma – is the bottom-shelf version of a well-known brand. The higher-end products win big spirit awards, so they’re probably better. It’s made in Hebei province in the north of China, and uses wheat qu. This […]
Vinn Family Reserve is (correct us if we’re wrong here, Vinn!) the same baijiu as Vinn, but proofed down to a higher octane and aged for three years. It’s also delicious! The nutty brown rice flavor comes through just as clearly. It’s surprising how a version at a higher-alcohol mix can still deliver the same […]
JOYOUTH from Xianglaobai is a light-aroma baijiu, and one of the most prominent that’s targeting younger drinkers. The founder Tao Shiquan is on a mission to get baijiu into the hands – and glasses, and cocktails – of China’s millennial. Their baijiu is in very non-traditional bottle designs, and they do a lot of event […]
