Start Your Baijiu Journey Right
Baijiu's bold, complex character can overwhelm newcomers who start with the wrong bottle. The key is choosing approachable expressions that introduce baijiu's unique flavors without the intensity of premium aged styles. Light aroma baijiu offers the gentlest entry point, while certain strong aroma and even sauce aroma options can work beautifully for beginners when selected carefully.
Our Beginner Recommendations
Start with Light Aroma styles like Fen Chiew—clean, delicate, and reminiscent of other clear spirits, making it the easiest transition for Western palates. Ming River, specifically designed for international audiences, offers an approachable strong aroma introduction. Yanghe Sky Blue delivers smooth sweetness at gentle proof. When ready for sauce aroma, Moutai Prince provides the complexity without overwhelming intensity. Avoid starting with high-proof aged expressions or complex vintage sauce aroma—save those rewards for after you've developed appreciation.
