For over 2000 years, in a remote village precariously perched between the mountains and the river of Chishui deep in the valley of Guizhou Province of China, families of artisans has been crafting crystal-clear liquor using pure water from the pristine Chishui watershed as their source. With over 150 tasting notes in a single glass, Moutai is that rare national treasure - a drink that is as comple
x as it is pure. For decades, the Moutai distillery has tried to match its supply with demand, but between the geological constraints and the labor intensive process, efforts have proved to be nearly insurmountable. Diplomats prefer it, businessmen seal deals over, and awards keep pouring in, making it one of the most highly-acclaimed liquor in existence.
