Jiuzu Dukang 12 Cellar Red 375ml 酒祖杜康 十二窖 红盒

Product details

Dukang, as a name, a place, a type of liquor, and a representation of liquor culture, belongs to Luoyang, to Henan, to China, and to the global Chinese community. The liquor named Dukang, originating 5000 years ago, was named after Dukang Village in Luoyang City, where Dukang first created Shaojiu. It is widely known for phrases like "What can dissolve worries but Dukang?" by Wei Wudi Cao Cao, "Dukang can dispel boredom, and Xuan grass can relieve worries" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, and the praise "From now on, Dongpo's house no longer offers sacrifices to Dukang" by the Northern Song Dynasty literary figure Su Shi, which have been widely spread by later generations.

The cellar pits were first constructed in the 1970s. The older generation of Dukang people followed the ancestral teachings, constructing pits and cellars using traditional craftsmanship. Ancient mulberry mud is mixed with liquor lees and poured into the pits after eliminating miscellaneous bacteria. After soaking and fermenting for several months under constant temperature conditions, the liquor produced through this ancestral fermentation process has a rich cellar aroma and a longer aftertaste. The red box edition Jiuzu Dukang 12 Cellar is brewed with a 40-year-old cellar, making the Chinese liquor smooth and mellow the cellar aroma. The flavor is pleasant with a long aftertaste and sweet rice scent.

杜康，是人名，是地名，是酒名，是酒文化；杜康，属于洛阳，属于河南，属于中国，属于全球华人。以杜康为名的杜康酒，起源于5000年前，因杜康在洛阳市杜康村始创秫酒而得名，素有魏武帝曹操的“何以解忧，唯有杜康”，唐代大诗人白居易的“杜康能散闷，萱草解忘忧”，北宋文学家苏轼的“从今东坡室，不立杜康祀”之美誉，被后人广为流传。

窖池群始建于上个世纪七十年代。老一代的杜康人遵循祖训，按照传统工艺建池垒窖。垒窖的古桑泥在消除杂菌后用酒尾混合液泼入，浸在恒温条件下，发酵数月后垒窖，经过这种祖传工艺发酵的原酒，酒体窖香浓郁，回味更悠长。红盒装酒祖杜康十二窖由四十年窖龄老池酿造，使得这款中国酒醇和顺滑，酒窖香气醇厚。口感宜人，余味悠长，带有一丝甜米香。

Jiuzu Dukang 12 Cellar Red is a cask-aged baijiu that exudes a potent aroma filled with ancient and distant nuances. Upon closer examination, you'll detect subtle hints of grains intertwined with delicate woody and fruity notes, creating an intoxicating olfactory experience.

Water is the foundation of liquor, and the Xuanwu Ancient Spring is the source of the water used in making Du Kang liquor. This spring water contains over 40 trace elements beneficial to human health, such as selenium and strontium. The high-quality water, combined with the unique microbial community in the brewing environment, creates a mellow Du Kang liquor. Du Kang liquor is made from sorghum and wheat, grown in the natural geographical environment of the brewing site. The liquor is brewed using ancient techniques such as "three steaming, three brewing, five leveling, and six methods", the single-grain solid-state fermentation, and traditional techniques like a fork-loaded steamer, old-style steamer, the timing for wine extraction, manual brewing, mixed steaming and burning, and quality selection for wine picking.

Du Kang liquor's brewing is closely related to the invention of Shu wine from empty mulberry leaves and spoiled rice by the wine ancestor Du Kang. The cellar pits cultivated with mulberry mud are conducive to the cultivation and survival of microorganisms, giving Du Kang liquor a unique aroma. Over 600 beneficial microbial communities inhabit the pits, producing nearly a hundred aromatic and flavorful substances, ensuring the richness and sweetness of Du Kang liquor. The base wine is meticulously blended by three national-level masters, and the fine wine undergoes a final transformation in constant-temperature wine cellars, resulting in a mellow, sweet, and elegant liquor.
