Reply to "What distilled beverage are you drinking?"

Moutai (or Maotai) is distilled from fermented sorghum. It's similar to soju (Korean) and shoju (Japanese). The most famous Moutai is Kweichow Moutai. I have a dozen or so bottles at home. Moutai originated, I believe, in the 17th century.

I only drink it when I am in China (a very common ceremonial drink; and I usually over-consume!) or when Chinese friends are visiting. Interestingly, I have never had a hangover when drinking it, although I do drink a lot of water.

As for the moutai at Costco, I have not seen it before.
