麻袋のデザインがエモい！すべての香りを併せ持つ「のんべえの酒」
Description
A Baijiu with fanatic fans, brewed in Hunan (Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture), where China's spiciest food is eaten. Directly translated, the name means 'Drunkard's Liquor'. Features an artistic, quirky ceramic bottle looking like a tied gunny sack. Standalone established the unique 'Fuxiang' (complex, rich aroma) category, seemingly mixing all 3 major Baijiu aromas: Nongxiang, Qingxiang, and Jiangxiang.

- [Typical Uses]
- [Slowly Straight]: Though highly alcoholic (52-54% ABV), the mouthfeel is astonishingly smooth, drunk straight from shot glasses. This complexly aromatic liquor perfectly catches the intense stimulation of Hunan's unique 'Suan La' (hot-sour) flavors.

Trivia
Drinking it offers a magical flavor transition: initially 'Nongxiang' (gorgeous fruit), mid-palate 'Qingxiang' (crisp), and the finish 'Jiangxiang' (deep soy-like depth).
Eating tips & etiquette
The gap between the self-deprecating, humorous name 'Jiugui' (Drunkard) and the ceramic bottle imitating a 'shabby gunny sack' designed by famous Chinese artist Huang Yongyu conversely maximized its brand value as a 'chic liquor loved by true drinkers'.
