Wuliangye Classic 52° is one of the flagship products of the Wuliangye house, a major name in Chinese Baijiu . Produced in Yibin, in the Sichuan province, it belongs to the Nongxiang type Baijiu family, or "intense aroma", and is part of a production tradition dating back several centuries.
The name Wuliangye is directly linked to the recipe that defines the brand: in Chinese, "Wuliangye" refers to the essence of the five grains. Baijiu is indeed made from sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn , a combination that constitutes Wuliangye's historical signature. The brand also boasts a centuries-old tradition of multi-grain solid fermentation.
Each of these five grains contributes to building the spirit's identity: each element is carefully selected and then processed according to Wuliangye's traditional expertise. The distillery thus emphasizes an approach based on the harmony between these five raw materials, at the very heart of the product's identity.
Produced using a complex traditional process involving more than a hundred steps, Wuliangye notably uses pit fermentation and meticulous work in selecting, distilling, storing and blending the different eaux-de-vie.
