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.

    In China, Moutai (or Maotai) is known as ‘the national liquor’. It is made from a grain called red sorghum at Kweichow Moutai Co, Ltd, the country’s most famous baijiu (Chinese spirits) distillery. Maotai is served at all Chinese state banquets and often presented as a diplomatic gift. Moutai is produced in Maotai Town, which is located within Guizhou (Kweichou) Province. Like champagne, only the baijiu  produced in Maotai Town can be called Maotai, and more specifically only the baijiu  produced by Kweichow Moutai Co, Ltd. Other Maotai is called Maotai Town baijiu. Exactly when the first formal liquor production sites in the town of Maotai were established is not known, but one source dates a distilling workshop to 1599 during the Ming dynasty. In the early 1950s, local government merged Chengyi, Ronghe and Hengxing to establish the state-run Moutai Distillery. Since then, it has undergone multiple expansions. Today, the share price of Kweichow Moutai Co, Ltd continues to rise. According to a report by Fortune, ‘Maotai baijiu’s fiery flavour and potential to appreciate in price is driving blistering demand. That in turn has pushed its market value to more than $145 billion, well past British whisky giant Diageo Plc.’
