Baijiu

China’s national drink, baijiu (meaning ‘clear spirit’) is a hugely diverse spirit with a history going back centuries. While there are four main styles or 'aromas' – strong, light, sauce and rice – there are lots of subcategories with flavours varying from delicate and floral through to hugely fruity or rich and packed with umami.
