Moutai - Prince Year Of The Dragon (500ml)
The Moutai Prince Year of the Dragon (2024) is a special edition baijiu offering a richer, nuttier, and more refined flavor compared to standard Prince, with notes of toasted sesame, honey, hay, and savory soy sauce, balanced by fruity undertones and aromatic woodiness on the finish, presenting a complex but smoother experience than the flagship Feitian, though some find it less bold than other Moutai expressions but highly enjoyable for its elegance and cultural appeal.
Key Tasting Notes & Characteristics:
Aroma: Expect prominent notes of toasted black sesame, integrated with honey, hay, and hints of nectarines, alongside classic soy sauce and steamed rice aromas.
Palate: A viscous, tongue-coating texture with a prominent nutty profile, cleaner than some other Moutai versions, featuring savory, grainy, and slightly floral elements.
Finish: Lingering woody notes (sandalwood) and the fading sesame nuttiness, with a balanced sweetness and warmth.
Character: More refined, "polite," and balanced than the bolder Feitian (Flying Fairy) Moutai, with rounded edges making it elegant and less sharp.
