Xijiu JunPin Baijiu
(君品习酒) is the flagship expression of Guizhou’s revered sauce-aroma tradition, crafted in the legendary Chishui River Valley. Representing the pinnacle of “Gentleman Culture," it combines exceptional ageing with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver a spirit of remarkable depth and elegance. Presented in its iconic Junpin blue and gold design, it is a true symbol of prestige, refinement, and world-class gifting. Tasting Notes & Experience
Crystal clear with a faint golden hue, JunPin reveals a rich, viscous texture in the glass. The nose opens with classic sauce-aroma depth—aged soy, roasted grain, and umami richness—layered with wildflower honey, tropical fruit, and hints of cocoa. The palate is exceptionally silky and rounded, unfolding toasted sesame, dark chocolate, and delicate floral notes. The finish is long, clean, and persistent, leaving a signature “Gan" sweetness and an elegant “empty cup" fragrance of jasmine and grain. Key Details
