Described to be "sweet, mellow and elegant with various layers of fragrance", Wenjun bai jiu had its origins in the West Han dynastry, when Zhuo Wenjun, daughter of a wealthy official from Qionglai in Sichuan Province, found a way to make spirits with pure and fresh spring water from a well in the backyard of her spirit shop. Thanks to authentic distilling techniques and the favorable climate, spirits of premium quality continued to pour forth from Qionglai during the last 2000 years. The Wenjun distillery was officially established in 1951.
With master blender Madame Wu at the helm, the distillery is fast amassing a pool of followers, especially among newly-affluent Chinese.
Now Moet Hennessy - Louis Vuitton (otherwise known as the LVMH Group), who acquired Wenjun 'Bai Jiu' in 2007, is bringing the luxurious spirit to Hong Kong.
The unique decanter design is inspired by an ancient Chinese stringed musical instrument, the Gu Qin
Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright, colorless and crystal clear
Nose: Delicate aroma of orchid and flower of chu-lan tree with subtle fruit flavour of cantaloup, followed with a balanced fresh mint palate
Taste: The first sip reveals watery sweetness of pear with sorghum's light fragrance, then the deep sweetness of osmanthus and glutinous rice, with an excellent acidity of apple expressed in an outstanding elegance and generosity
Finish: Clean and pure, with long and mangosteen sweet notes
