WHAT IS SMALL-QU LIGHT-AROMA BAIJIU?

MATERIALS

As the name suggests, small-qu light-aroma baijiu is naturally fermented by the use of fermentation starter Small Qu, which is made from rice, sorghum, barley and other raw materials, and several added traditional Chinese medicines. The Qu materials used by Jiangji Distillery must be carefully selected; its raw materials should have high content of starch or sugar, an appropriate amount protein, very little fat, the right tannins, and a variety of vitamins. As for the pectin content, the less, the better. It finally is formed through careful breeding and fermentation over a long period of time.

REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION

As one of the main spirits with the most traditional characteristics, small-qu light-aroma baijiu has a long history in China. Among all baijius, this type uses the least amount of Qu. Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan all have long history with this baijiu type. Small-qu light-aroma baijiu can be fermented in two ways: either through solid state fermentation or semi-solid state fermentation.
