Wu Liang Ye 750 ml

Wu Liang Ye ranks among China's most famous baijiu, a strong-aroma spirit distilled in Yibin, Sichuan, from five grains: sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn. The name means 'five grains,' and that blend gives the spirit its signature nongxiang profile — floral and peppery on the nose, with pineapple and a touch of licorice across the palate. Wuliangye Yibin Co. has fermented in the same earthen pits for generations, and the depth shows. Bottled at 52% ABV, it drinks hot and aromatic, built for sipping in small cups rather than mixing. Serve it at room temperature with rich, savory food, the traditional pairing that balances its intensity.

How to drink Wu Liang Ye

Pour it into small ceramic cups and serve at room temperature alongside rich, savory dishes — the traditional Chinese banquet pairing. Sip slowly rather than shooting it; the floral, peppery notes are meant to be savored.
