Produced in the town of Maotai, Guizhou province, Maotai is one of the best-known brands of Chinese liquor (or baijiu). Maotai is called China’s official ‘National Liquor.’ The most expensive bottle was one from Five Star Maotai made in 1955, which went for RMB 1.26 million. Maotai offers an exceptionally pure, mild, and mellow soy sauce-like fragrance.
