Phoenix West 12 year old. This might not seem like much in the brandy sphere, but in the baijiu world, it’s a really big deal. A 15 year Moutai sells for over $2,000usd.

This spirit is distilled from 83% sorghum, 7.6% barley, 6.8% wheat, and 2.6% pea.
52% abv., but when it’s done right, it’s smooth, no alcohol burns, no hangover. A little sweet. More than I’d expect from this type of spirit, or from their lower grade variety (see initial post).
Nice elegant presentation. Goes well with steak, Foie gras, and other rich meals.
