Baijiu, as one of the traditional Chinese drinks, has a long history and rich cultural connotations. In the tasting process of baijiu, we can feel its unique flavor and aroma through sight, smell and taste. Here are some of my personal experiences with liquor tasting.
First of all, when tasting baijiu, pay attention to the color and transparency of the liquor. A good liquor should be in a clear and transparent state, free of impurities and turbid substances. The color varies according to the different brewing processes and raw materials, and can be understood and distinguished by comparing the colors of different wines.
Secondly, the sense of smell is an indispensable part of the tasting of liquor. Gently shake the glass to allow the wine to come into full contact with the air, then take a deep breath and smell the wine. There are many kinds of aromas of liquor, including strong flavor, sauce flavor, light fragrance and so on. Each aroma has its own unique characteristics and **, and the intensity, layer, and quality of the aroma can be discerned by the sense of smell.
Finally, taste is the core part of tasting baijiu. The first thing to do is to hold the right amount of liquor in your mouth, so that your tongue and mouth can fully feel the texture and taste of the liquor. The taste of baijiu can be divided into different types such as mellow, soft, and refreshing, and the taste is related to factors such as alcohol content, body taste, and aroma. When drinking baijiu, pay attention to the overall balance and harmony of the taste.
To sum up, the tasting of baijiu needs to be carried out through the comprehensive feeling of sight, smell and taste. Each baijiu has its own unique characteristics and flavors, and through the process of tasting, we can better appreciate and understand the charm of this traditional drink. I hope that everyone can experience the fun in the process of tasting baijiu and deepen their understanding of baijiu culture.
