A permanent expression from Kweichow Moutai in Moutai Town, Guizhou Province, released as part of the Moutai Prince series. The Prince series was the producer’s first range of sauce-aroma (jiangxiang) baijiu outside the flagship Moutai, introduced in 1999. Golden Prince is made from locally grown glutinous sorghum and wheat, using the traditional sauce-aroma method with a wheat-based qu starter. Each batch takes at least three years from production to bottling: around a year to make the base spirits, more than a year of storage by style, and several months of blending. Bottled at 53%. (Bottle size 500ml)
Nose: Rich aromas of fermented grains, roasted nuts and toasted cereals, complemented by hints of caramel, soy sauce and subtle earthy notes.
Palate: Full-bodied and complex, with flavours of roasted grain, toasted nuts, umami and gentle sweetness. Layers of spice, caramel and savoury fermentation notes provide depth and balance.
Finish: Long, warming and persistent, with lingering notes of roasted grains, savoury spice, toasted nuts and subtle sweetness.
