Tanggou Liquor

Tanggou Liquor

Tanggou Liquor is a protected geographical indication product.

　　　"Southern liquor from Tanggou, fragrant ten miles when the jar is opened" — this is how ancient people praised Tanggou Liquor. Tanggou Daqu gained fame in the late Ming Dynasty and won a silver medal at the Leipzig International Exposition in 1915. By 1924, Tanggou Daqu had already been exported to Japan and Southeast Asia. Today, the Tanggou Distillery has grown into a large state-owned enterprise, producing four major series with 36 varieties of "Tanggou Brand" Daqu liquor and a range of snake-based nutritional health tonics. Tanggou Liquor is colorless and transparent, with a rich aroma, sweet and mellow taste, and a long-lasting finish. The Tanggou series of liquors have won the national gold award eight times, the silver award fifteen times, and four products have received certification from the National Square Circle Label. At the 4th National Wine Appraisal Conference, Tanggou Special Qu outshone its competitors and ranked fifth, with four of the original eight famous liquors ranked below it. In 1984, Tanggou Liquor was also selected by China’s first Antarctic scientific expedition team and taken to Antarctica for consumption.

　　The geographical indication protection area for Tanggou Baijiu covers the current administrative region of Tanggou Town, Guannan County, Jiangsu Province.
