Luzhou Laojiao (Chinese: 泸州老窖) is a famous liquor in China. It is a strongly alcoholic (more than 50% alcohol) but clear liquid with a sharp aroma of fermented peaches. It is famous for being brewed in an environment with a unique clay composition that gives the spirit its famous aroma and palette.[1]
