Ming River Sichuan Baijiu 750ml

Fruity and pungent, aromas of overripe mango, bruised strawberries, and golden pineapple dominate the nose. Intense spice with earthy pine notes and golden plums are deep. Hints of fennel characterize the strong and unique finish. - 2019 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE

AROMA Begins with green apple peel and gives way to a mélange of tropical fruit—papaya, guava and melon—rounded out by a hint of ripe cheese. FLAVOR Spicy pink peppercorn, with pineapple, anise and a bright and briny middle note. A long, mellow and a slightly earthy finish. MIXING WITH MING RIVER BAIJIU Baijiu is traditionally enjoyed neat at room temperature. Ming River’s fruity sweetness is the perfect counterpoint to the numbing spice of Sichuanese cuisine. As a clear but decidedly non-neutral spirit, in mixed drinks Ming River’s bold aroma and flavor can be called upon to perform like a rhum agricole, Jamaican pot still rum or a Batavia arrack, effortlessly finding a home in tiki drinks while also opening a new world for sours and aperitifs. Additionally, many classic recipes can be enhanced by incorporating Ming River baijiu in a split base or even just as a rinse. 45%ABV
