Product details
Kuo Kung Chiew, also known as Guo Gong Jiu (国公酒), is a distinguished Chinese herbal liqueur steeped in rich history and tradition. Its origins trace back to Shih Kuo Kung, a duke who meticulously crafted and refined this unique spirit using a secret recipe. The name "Kuo Kung Chiew" translates to "Infused Liqueur of Duke Shih," honoring its noble creator. This esteemed beverage has been cherished both at the royal court and among the populace, with its formulation enduring through centuries. Emperor Tao Kung of the Qing Dynasty bestowed upon it the name we recognize today, cementing its legacy in Chinese culture.
Crafted from high-quality sorghum and an array of select herbs, Kuo Kung Chiew undergoes a meticulous distillation process that harmoniously blends the robust character of sorghum spirits with the nuanced flavors of traditional Chinese botanicals. The result is a liqueur celebrated for its mellow flavor and fragrant aroma, offering a sensory experience that is both complex and inviting. Its herbal composition not only contributes to its distinctive taste but also aligns with principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which often utilizes herbal infusions for their purported health benefits. Kuo Kung Chiew pairs exceptionally well with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled meats and hearty stews, where its aromatic profile complements and enhances the culinary experience. Additionally, it serves as a delightful digestif, offering a soothing conclusion to a meal.
