Kweichow Moutai is a traditional style of Chinese baijiu liquor from China's Guizhou province. It has the taste and aroma of tropical fruits, pears, smoky nuts and sweet plums.
Please note that there is currently a limit of 3 bottles per member
—- $10 cheaper than Dan Murphys which has been out of stock for a long time. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_369976/kweichow-mou…
Should have gone to dan murphy. They would have price beat by a $1
Will they beat Costco?
Please note that there is currently a limit of 3 bottles per member.
Yeah right
Whooshhh
Besides the whoosh below, it's not uncommon for an Ozbargainer to make multiple accounts, possibly they roped their family members who have the $30 costco membership to buy on their behalf :o
True ozrbargainers will have 10 family sharing 1 Costco account.
Is this the real stuff? There are a lot of imitations out there…
It's Costco. Not your local dimly lit grocer.
Ahh so that's ok then.
I've had very expensive moutai and and run-of-the-mill moutai - both tasted like rocket fuel to me.
I've always wanted to taste rocket fuel. Sold!
I would suggest truffle oil, at first I thought they used petroleum in place of cooking oil.
Maybe if you wash out the weak sauce from your mouth it might taste better.
Yeah, they market it like it's whisky but it's like drinking a Russian's piss.
I thought Smirnoff tastes like Russian piss… but if you gave me a choice between Moutai and Smirnoff, I'd pick Smirnoff everytime.
@Serapis: Sounds like you should just get some Russian piss mate, instead of wasting your money on Smirnoff.
How much like it? /Trump
Describe what Russian's piss taste like, then I can tell you if you are wrong with that.
Is that you, Mr Trump?
smells like soy sauce to me…the price has been on the rise for a while….only good to use as a bribe or gift to corrupt officials….LOL
2 possibilities
- your soy sauce is off
- your moutai is off
Same here
The 50 year old is paradise, much better than this run of the mill…
Also $6k…. but you get a nice box with dragon bottle and a copper cup.
Got them as gifts but would never buy it myself…it goes down too easy
Who are you bribing with $6000 gifts?
TIL that rocket fuel
has the taste and aroma of tropical fruits, pears, smoky nuts and sweet plums.
smoky russian nuts
Haha from memory the taste was like kerosene mixed with dry cleaning fluid (basically rocket fuel) but the after effects were decidedly worth it!
aliexpress cheaper ?
This or soju?
Sake
17% ABV vs 53%, how drunk do you want to get?
53% is weak there are ones sold in china with 70%
That sounds like it would eat my body from the inside out
I mean, you can buy 76% Bundy Rum if you really want to party.
I don’t think 70% is for consumption. Sounds like a cooking abv.
Lol.. We not talking hand sanitizers you know?
yeah, the ones in China are lethal - note, you will get none of the 'tasting notes' described above, just the taste of rocket fuel burning your esophagus on the way down.
Hand sanitizer
Ahh Bacardi 151… a painful casualty of political correctness. Too many blurry evenings and hard mornings.
@Melong: I’ve got a half a bottle in my cupboard. It is fun to give people just a little sip and watch their reaction. You are, basically, inhaling vapours. It has a flame arrester and a list of warnings as long as your arm.
They stopped making it because idiots kept making flaming drinks from it and they were worried about being sued.
39+ bottles of soju or this?
depends how long your bender is
Ginger beer?
Hmm… "Asian" "Jap"…
What are you? Noble Monkey?
Why is "Asian" racist?
The word itself is not, but when putting it into this whole context…
reading≠understanding
The correct term is Oriental ya racist
Why ask, are only english crap allowed to be more expensive? privileged much
your comment smells a bit off
Wanna come off racist much? Lol unless you’re also questioning / asking why a bottle of european johnnie walker king george cost so much? Or even why a $300+ champagne exists cause because it’s just wine
“Jap” - are you seriously that out of touch?
Have you ever heard something luxury like an Asian stone worth 20 million AUD?
While it's expensive but not Grange, Hill of Grace, Lafite or Haut-Brion expensive.
@fuzor wassup ignorant bogan, have u been to Macau, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai?
Yeah, I've been to Maccas, and I've Sungbefore
Maybe you should ask why a Patek is more superior than a Grand Seiko? Does it wear better or is it the fact it's marked up to no end?
This stuff is the bomb, thanks OP.
Having tasted a few different varieties, I reckon you could use it to make a bomb.
Why does it come in a toilet disinfectant bottle?
Everytime I used to see the billboard ad for this near Melb Airport it made me think it was a motor oil type of product.
-somewhere in China-
Crikey, that was a PITA but the bathroom's finally clean.
Now to treat myself to that bottle of grog I've been saving…
-10 mins later-
FUUUUUUUUUUU- SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
Yea, try to put in your ride, it will fly you to the sky.
Saw the billboards at various international airports too. I wonder who they're targeting. I've tried this and no thanks.
Well, it's concentration is perfectly suitable for use as a disinfectant
Reminds me of tooth whitening mouthwash.
I am so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this
Why does toilet disinfectant come in a baijiu bottle?
Can someone please explain to me what makes this so expensive?
Making rice-derived home brew in wet gym socks takes time and perseverance.
This quite accurately describes my first impression:
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne. It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries. Yep, it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.
Ron Burgundy: It’s quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It’s a formidable scent. It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I’m gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Aimed at Chinese expats in Australia. Extremely cashed up demographic. I have drank 21 gun salute. Moutai is awful tbh.
Baijiu is the most drunk spirit in the world.
When you have over a billion people drinking and this is suppose to be the top shelf stuff, what did you expect?
I haven’t tried but I’ve only heard bad things. But I love anchovies on my pizza whereas micheal angelo doesnt , each to their own
I dont see how it can be - at this kind of price!
According to Chinese culture: Buy expensive wines, display and lock them in your wine cabinet. Only take out and drink a bit when true friends come to your house. That's how you show them how you treasure them (the more expensive wine the better). Bai jiu = white wine, made from cereal but most often from rice/sticky rice. In terms of quality, wine from this brand is distilled and kept for at least 5 years before being sold to you, and most specially it has Chinese mountain floral smell.
It's a spirit, not wine…
respect, your wealth and prosperity when you gift it to someone.
thats it, really.
They have the ability to make $390 liquor, but not enough to make milk powder.
All popular powder made from NZ
they have the ability to buy it overseas. itll be too cheap if it was local.
Right, just like this liquor is too cheap.
China makes enough milk powers for local consumption but consumers lost the trust previously due to the San Lu incident. Trust takes ages to restore.
It's not the amount that I was referring to, it's the quality. If they are sophisticated enough to make liquor that attracts a $390 price tag, then they should be able to produce high quality milk powder. You'd think milk is more important than liquor, right?
Do you reckon VW can’t make quality cars because of the emissions scandals? It’s the profit causing it. Nothing to do with the capability.
@AussieGargain: If a company needs to cheat or cut corners or use inferior parts/ingredients just to turn a profit, then yes, they are not capable.
@kahn: that is such a generalised comment . depends on your product.
a Company has a budget and product parts need to be chosen / sacrifced to fit, not necessarily because they are not capable
@astarman: There are minimum standards that need to be meant. A product generally should not cause harm (if used correctly, no allergies, etc.). If the law sets standards and the market sets prices, then if a company cannot meet either of those criteria then they are not able to produce their goods for any meaningful length of time. To be clear, I am not arguing this in the realm of what is theoretically possible, I am referring to the real world.
@kahn: yeh that makes more sense. thats not what you said before lol
its like saying iphone SE - with its ancient design cut corners cos it was cheaper to make tho budget phone…. therefor apple is incapable…
or buying some WPC vs WPI protein. WPC is inferior - so therefore companies selling it are not capable?
Thanks OP ordered 30.
