2019 Kweichow Moutai Flying Fairy (Feitian) 53% Vol. 2015

This is the undisputed crown jewel of Chinese spirits and a global luxury icon: the Kweichow Moutai "Flying Fairy" (Feitian) 53% ABV (2019 Vintage). Revered as China's "National Liquor," Moutai is produced exclusively in the town of Maotai along the Chishui River in Guizhou Province through a legendary, highly complex solid-state fermentation and multi-cycle distillation process aged in terracotta jars. Resting at over a decade of maturation since its 2015 bottling, this spirit has rounded out into an extraordinarily harmonious and silky profile. The nose explodes with an opulent, multifaceted bouquet of fermented grains, roasted nuts, dried tropical fruits, and dark chocolate, layered with savory soy sauce, umami paste, aged cheese, and delicate floral lift. On the palate, it is velvety, mouth-filling, and profoundly powerful, delivering an exquisite balance of gentle sweetness, savory depth, and an endlessly warm, fragrant finish that lingers for minutes.
