Moutai 1950

This is a very rare Moutai, produced in Maotai Town, bottled October 28, 1950. Currently we are unaware which distillery released this decanter, that investigation is still ongoing. The decanter itself is made of pottery, wrapped in tissue paper which was common in those days. Less common is the fact that both front- and back label are attached over the tissue paper rather than under.

There are just a handful of closed pre-1952 Moutai left, 3 or them are Lay Mau which are all displayed in various Chinese musea. Prices for the these bottles varied from $ 300.000 to 1.550.000 USD, prices that demonstrate the importance of these bottles which are considered national heritage.
