Kweichow Moutai Centenary Panama Gold Medal
This incredible 30-liter decanter, shaped after 100-years old pottery, has been commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the Gold Medal which was awarded to Moutai in Panama in the year 1915, during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. As one of the most representative products of Kweichow, China, Moutai liquor selected from the two biggest liquor distilleries of Chengyi Shaofang and Ronghe Shaofang were recommended to the altar of the exhibition. Both distilleries used tawny pottery jars as liquor containers. Except the different surnames of “王” and “华” on the container labels, the liquor names and packages of the two distilleries were almost the same. Their liquors were under the same title “茅台烧坊出品” (Product of Moutai Distillery). According to international practice, the ministry of commerce’s officials regarded the two bottles of Moutai as one product, under the name of Kweichow Bureau by the manufacturer of “Moutai Liquor Brewing Company”, and the bottles were sent to the exhibition. As the star of the expo, the Moutai liquor was awarded the gold medal of honor by the professional evaluation committee.
This is one of just 60 decanters.
