Meng Zhi Lan Dream Blue M9 is a high-end Chinese baijiu known for being strong but smooth, with a harmonious blend of fruity (lychee, pineapple, plum) and floral (jasmine, osmanthus) notes. It is praised for its mellow, mouth-coating texture, long and lingering aftertaste, and elegant finish, though some detect a subtle hint of 'funk' or solvent. A premium spirit aged in a century-old cellar, it is recommended to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complex flavors.
