Kweichow Moutai: China’s ‘national schnapps’ on the rise

Baijiu is the most popular alcoholic drink in China and Moutai the most famous brand, with a similar status to vodka in Russia or tequila in Mexico. Its origins go back over 2,000 years to the time of Emperor Wu of Han. These days, the national drink is frequently served at official state banquets and is used as the official state gift. Its protected source is the village of Maotai in the Guizhou province on the banks of the Chishui, the Red River. These days, more than 30,000 tons of the 53 percent alcohol Moutai are produced. In cooperation with Camus, a limited edition was launched as an homage to the greatest poets: after Li Bai in 2013, Du Fu followed in 2018. The elegant bottle showing a painting of a poem is made from the finest porcelain.

Traditional methods are used for the distillation of regional raw materials: organic sorghum and wheat and the best water. Fermentation takes place at high temperatures. During the production process, which takes a year, fresh grain is added twice to the boilers, then several boiling and fermentation processes take place. Every batch of the distillate is separated according to age, production cycle and aroma. It then matures slowly in terracotta containers and, during the storage period of at least five years, develops a fine soya aroma. Master blenders make sure that the characteristic, full flavour is preserved. The secret lies in the humid climate, the water from the Chishui, as well as in the distillation technique and maturing period.

At the World Spirits Award, there was double gold for Kweichou Moutai Du Fu Edition.

Seven Seals Distillery: Swiss Single Malt

Seven Seals Innovation AG is a young enterprise when it comes to the production and marketing of spirits, where the focus is on high-quality single malts, characterised by quality, innovation, ecology and natural ingredients. The patented Stockhausen method sets new standards in the refinement of spirits, combined with a time-efficient, ecological and economical improvement of production.

The inventor Dolf Stockhausen has turned barrel maturation for spirits on its head. His idea is based on a purely physical law that simulates maturation in a barrel. In 2017, a wood-based, sustainable procedure was developed. Today more surface is given to the distillate after a special treatment of the wood. The result is a shorter maturation process and a rounded taste profile. The manufacturing uses the Speedmaster, with which up to 2,000 litres of a distillate are refined purely physically – without using chemicals. Every batch reaches customers with the same quality, which cannot be ensured with traditional barrel maturation. It is guaranteed during the professional manufacturing that each whisky is matured for at least three years in the barrel as prescribed, before it can go through the process. Seven Seals has also proven that a wide variety of single malts can thereby be created, from classical (Classic Line) to innovative (Zodiac Line). The selection of aroma profiles has also impressed an international clientele.

At the World Spirits Award, gold was awarded to The Age of Virgo and The Age of Leo, and silver to Amarone Wood Finish, The Age of Pisces and The Age of Taurus.
