Happy Chinese New Year! I've had this one before with my friends. It's a very typical thing to have baijiu with BBQ or hot pot. Basically there are four main types of aromas in baijiu: jiangxiang/sauce aroma type (酱香）, e.g. Maotai; qingxiang/light aroma（清香）, e.g. Fenjiu; nongxiang/strong aroma（浓香）, e.g. the one you tried here; and mixiang/rice aroma（米香）, e.g. Sanhuajiu. There is another one in strong aroma category that I really recommend (and also one of the most famous), Luzhoulaojiao Touqu 泸州老窖头曲. Since sorghum is the main ingredient in most types, and the traditional fermentation is done in solid-state using qu/grain culture, plus the aging is usually done in clay pots, the flavor is very different from canadian/scoth/bourbon/irish whiskies.
Hi Roger, Happy New Year! I hope my pronunciation didn’t suck. Definitely impressed! I like the Maotai which I’ll review soon. Hard to come by others here in Manitoba. Cheers🍶🍶🍶🍶
Both Mandarin and Cantonese! I’m impressed. I have to admit that I’m not a fan of this spirit but I indulged in a little too much toasting on the first few trips to China.
Hi 3HHemp - I figured it would be a crime not to use both(realizing there are tens more peoples in China I am neglecting but…) It is so different. I can see why too much toasting could diminish ones taste for it! Cheers🍶🍶🍶🍶
@@WhiskyWhistle In the Guangdong Province I heard Cantonese spoken often. I think it’s common in many large cities, especially further south and definitely in Hong Kong and Macau.
Thanks for the comment! From what I can see the Yanghe Daku is also a “strong aroma” baijiu so you might like this one if you see it. Here’s a nice resource to explore that kind and the other categories of baijiu! www.baijiubrands.com/tag/strong-aroma-taste-baijiu/ Cheers🍶🍶🍶🍶
Look on the bright side - Confucius said at 60, you will align yourself with the order of heaven. On your way to becoming the “perfect man”! It should be a momentous year for you. Prepare yourself! Cheers🍶🍶🍶🍶

Been looking at getting into Baijiu. Only had one (Yanghe Daqu) and it intrigued me. Any recommendations?

0:10 what dram was that for your intro pour, Mr. Whistle?
Hi Jonathan, I think it’s a Dailuaine from Hunter Laing First Editions!

@@WhiskyWhistle honestly I’m worried I might not make it 😂
If I need to pray you let me know!
Spearmint?
Less minty and more exotic herbals and resins! With the fruit and some nice licorice in there. Just my thoughts!
