Sky Blue 52°, or Tianzhilan, is part of the Yanghe Blue Classic range, developed by the Yanghe brewery in Jiangsu Province, China . Launched in 2003, this collection has helped popularize a more flexible and contemporary approach to Baijiu, while remaining true to the tradition of Chinese craftsmanship.
Classified as a Nongxiang -type Baijiu , or "intense aroma," Sky Blue is crafted using Yanghe's traditional methods. Its recipe relies on a blend of several grains: sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, corn, barley, and peas , along with water and other fermentation elements. This diversity of grains is one of the defining characteristics of Yanghe's recipe. Their transformation, combined with the fermentation process and the careful selection of the resulting spirits, is integral to the distillery's expertise.
After distillation, the selected eaux-de-vie intended for the blend are aged for more than 6 years in terracotta jars , according to the traditional Yanghe maturation process.
Sky Blue is also distinguished by the characteristic visual identity of the Blue Classic collection, dominated by the color blue. Its Chinese name, Tianzhilan, can be translated as "Sky Blue," a name that directly reflects the identity of this range.
With its 52%, Sky Blue is an emblematic reference of Yanghe's expertise and a beautiful introduction to the world of Nongxiang style Baijiu.
