Ronghe Moutai 2008/50 years old

In 1951, the Chinese government decided to produce Kweichow Moutai on a large scale to increase revenue for the country. To achieve this the 3 leading distilleries Ronghe, founded in 1879, Chengyi and Hengxing merged into the Kweichow Provincial Monopoly Company Renhuai Moutai Distillery (a.k.a. State-owned Moutai Distillery), owned by the newly formed Communist government.

After their distillery was confiscated decedents of Wang Rongxiao continued the production of Moutai, something which would eventually led to a court case with Kweichow Moutai.

This 50-years old Moutai, bottled in 2009, is one of the rare releases under the Ronghe name, which later changed into Rong Tai He Maotai.
