The highly sought-after Kweichow “Iron Cap” Moutai series was born at the end of 1985 and lasted for about a decade. From January 1987, all the domestic and export packaging of Moutai liquor was officially changed to special aluminum screw capsules. The venerable distiller had previously only used stoppers of wood and plastic, or even bladder-skin seals. Manufactured by the Italian Guala Closures Group, which specializes in non-refillable aluminum closures for spirits, the special aluminum screw capsules were designed to prevent counterfeiting and tampering. This is a very early bottle, dated April 25, 1985.
