Wuliangye is more than a spirit, it’s a national treasure of China. Rooted in over a millennium of distillation tradition from Yibin in Sichuan province, this legendary baijiu is named after its unique recipe: “five grains” sorghum, glutinous rice, rice, wheat, and corn. Revered at state banquets and cherished as a symbol of prestige, Wuliangye is an experience in history, craftsmanship, and cultural pride, all bottled with grace.
