Maotai, or Moutai, the most prestigious Chinese liquor, or baijiu, is produced in the town of Maotai (茅台镇), in the city of Renhuai, Guizhou province. Maotai, which is classified as "sauce-fragranced" (酱香, jiangxiang) because it offers an exceptionally pure, mild, and mellow soy sauce-like fragrance that lingers after it is consumed, is distilled from fermented sorghum and now comes in different versions ranging in alcohol content from the standard 53% by volume down to 35%.
Maotai liquor has a history of several hundred years dating back to Qing Dynasty. Maotai has been used on official occasions in feasts with foreign heads of state and distinguished guests visiting China. It is the only alcoholic beverage presented as an official gift by Chinese embassies in foreign countries and regions.
