My brother has been doing some research on these bottles we toasted from when we were in China this May.
Seems that "BaiJiu" has a storied history in China. The description of this beverage as smelling/tasting like 'a cross between rubbing alcohol and diesel fuel' is not far off. Reading up on the Baijiu entry in Wikipedia, I'm trying to figure out what type/version is in the bottle in this photo: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2010/china/content/DSCF6800_large.html (Sorry this particular photo was taken with a Fuji, not my Pentax) I have figured out that the 5 characters underneath the big stylized label are: [blank] fragrance [blank] white liquor ..and I'm trying to fill in the blanks. Any help here? -Charles PS: our group of 6 travelers each got a full bottle to take home. Went over pretty well with most of the people here in the U.S. who gave it a shot.
