Kweichow Moutai liquor dates back to 135 B.C., when the ancient town of Moutai in Kweichow province began producing this liquor, highly praised by Emperor Wudi of the Han dynasty. The water quality in the northern part of Kweichow is excellent and the town of Moutai is characterized by a favorable climate and lush vegetation that contributes to the taste of the liquor.
