Haitang Brand Wutijiang Daqu

Haitang Brand Wutijiang Daqu

　　A product of Binhai County Wutijiang Distillery. Wutijiang Daqu has been brewed since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was once praised as “Three households drunk beyond the wall, fragrance drifting ten miles from the opened jar.” It uses high-quality underground spring water from Yadanwang in Batan Town, which is of excellent quality and moderate hardness, along with premium sorghum as the main raw material. The natural saccharification and fermentation agent—malt—is meticulously crafted from wheat, barley, and anzhu beans. With well-balanced ingredients, careful brewing techniques, low-temperature fermentation in pits, elimination of the head and tail portions, segmented distillation, graded storage, and refined blending, all physicochemical and hygiene indicators meet standards and reach the benchmarks of national famous liquors. It features a clear and transparent appearance, rich cellar aroma, mellow and sweet taste, smooth entry, and a long-lasting flavor. Known for its “aroma, mellowness, smoothness, sweetness, and purity,” it has become a fine wine for banquets and an excellent gift for family and friends. In 1971, it ranked among Jiangsu’s famous liquors alongside Yanghe and Shuanggou. It received the Jiangsu Province Quality Food Certificate in 1979 and 1984. In 1986, the brand began developing lower-alcohol variants, producing 26 varieties across 6 series. In 1987, Wutijiang Special Daqu and Wutijiang Special Liquid (38 proof) were again honored as Jiangsu Quality Foods. At the first China Food Expo in 1988, the 38° Wutijiang Special Liquid and 39° Jinxiang Liquid won gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively. The 38° Wutijiang Special Liquid also received the Consumer Satisfaction Award and was presented with the “Dragon Chant Cup” during a quality tracking event for Jiangsu’s famous and quality liquors, organized by the China Quality Supervision, Inspection and Technology Committee in Beijing. The 29 varieties across five major series are now bestsellers in Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and enjoy high reputation in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
