Liquor: Jiujiang double steamed for 5 years 33° Approximately 20 yuan/bottle
The raw material of Jiujiang double steaming is rice as the raw material, rice and soybeans are used to make koji, and other plants need to be added to the koji. Plants include natural green leaves, beaded leaves, and cassia leaves. For wild plants, the main function of these pie leaves is that some can provide bacteria for the specific colonies required for fermentation, some can provide enough unique flavor for the wine body, and some can improve the aftertaste of the wine body.
The various natural plants in the Jiujiang double steaming raw materials can be made into cake leaves for koji making
The so-called double steaming, yes A distillation process, as the name implies, that is, the wine is steamed twice, the first time is to steam the wine with fermented rice, and the second time is to pour the freshly steamed wine into the same amount of fermented rice and distill again So, it is the wine obtained through two distillations. The essence of "double steaming" is to use wine to extract the aroma substances in the fermented rice again, and distill it into the middle of the wine to have the effect of stringing the aroma, thus making the wine particularly strong. In addition, double steaming also has a function, which is to make the alcohol content a little higher. In the traditional process, the first distilled wine is about 20 degrees, and the second distillation can make it reach about 30 degrees. There is also the term "three steaming". "Three steaming" is more exquisite, and we will look for opportunities to introduce them in the future.
After the wine is steamed, it should be aged in a pottery jar (pottery pot). When it is aged, it needs to be soaked in fat pork. Pork selection and treatment Everyone is particular about choosing meat. Only certain parts of the body of a certain pig breed can be selected, and the fat, length, and thickness of the meat are strictly limited.

The bottle of Jiujiang Double Steam I have on hand is to visit Jiujiang Double in June 2018 I bought it at the steaming distillery. The price is not expensive, but I don’t remember the exact price. It’s about 20 yuan per bottle. The price of Jiujiang double steamed wine is generally cheap, and the wine with more than 20 yuan is already considered the most expensive variety. I bought a box of wine at the winery, which included various types of Jiujiang double steamers produced in the winery, and sent it to my home by express delivery after payment.
Actually, there are relatively few opportunities to drink Jiujiang double steamed wine in the north. I can’t remember to drink it, but recently, aquatic products expert Mr. He Zuqi sent me a message They have just developed a new product-Chaoshan Niu Wan. This kind of beef balls tastes delicious when eaten in hot pot. When I ate them for the first time, the wine paired with them was two whiskeys. Because the beef balls have a lot of black pepper, it feels more compatible with foreign wine, but after eating it I don't think it's right, I have to go with Jiujiang Double Steamed Wine! When I ate the second time, I specially opened this bottle of Jiujiang Double Steam to drink. It felt very suitable.

The so-called so-called soy-flavored wine,Generally speaking, its taste is called "ha meat flavor", which is the taste of meat "ha la". In fact, this is a relatively popular way of saying that it is definitely not just a "ha meat flavor". It should have a roasted meat flavor, and it also has the kind of burnt aroma after rice is fried.
After drinking, the taste of Jiujiang double steamed wine is light and soft. The degree of 33° is matched with beef balls. The taste is very matched, which makes people feel a wonderful sense of agreement. If you drink Jiujiang Double Steamed Wine alone, the taste will be slightly bitter, but if you pair it up, while eating beef balls and drinking wine, Jiujiang Double Steamed Wine will become very sweet.
Many drinkers outside of Guangdong are not used to drinking soy-flavored liquor. In most cases, I actually don’t really drink soy-flavored liquor like Jiujiang Double Steam, but if you eat Chaoshan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, such as this Chaoshan beef ball, if there is no Jiujiang double steaming, you will feel lost. With Jiujiang double steaming, you suddenly feel that this kind of combination is indeed complementary and irreplaceable. Therefore, if you eat authentic Chaoshan beef balls, you must pair it with Jiujiang Double Steam, so that you can appreciate the beauty of black bean-flavored liquor.
Chinese traditional liquor is inseparable from the water, soil, and products of its place of origin. The local dishes and wines are naturally connected. They are a whole system. If they are cut apart, no matter what It is a pity for the dishes or wines. Only when they are perfectly matched can people feel a seamless and delicious experience.
