Zisha was created with the traditional methodologies of Chinese Baijiu production. It pays homage to the traditional liquor bottles from many dynasties ago by bottling the spirit in a grainy unpolished purple porcelain bottle hence its name. Zi Sha’s traditional and exquisite taste makes it a much sought after gem for the baijiu connoisseurs. It has an extremely complex floral aroma and rich taste. The product is completed with a traditional Chinese bottle design which beautifully displays the heritage and history of the Luzhou Laojiao brand. Zisha is best enjoyed neat over fine Chinese dining.
