Maopu Blackwheat Liquor 42% 500ml
🥃 Maopu Blackwheat Liquor offers a unique twist with its deep, toasted grain notes and subtle hints of cocoa. The herbal nuances and roasted nuts add a bold complexity to its fragrance, setting it apart from traditional Chinese baijiu.
Produced in China, this liquor combines baijiu with black buckwheat, kudzu root, goji berry, hawthorn, and Siraitia grosvenorii, resulting in a distinctive aromatic profile. Its yellowish color and buckwheat smell provide a different experience compared to other baijiu varieties.
On the palate, it's full-bodied and rich, featuring a robust flavor profile of roasted grains, dark chocolate, and a slight coffee-like bitterness. The mild sweetness balances the deeper bitterness from the black buckwheat.
With its 42% ABV, this liquor can be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to appreciate its complex flavors.
