Chinese Baijiu is a clear grain alcohol that resembles (in color) other East Asian liquors like South Korea's soju. The main difference between baijiu and these liquors is the former's strength — a typical baijiu might exceed 110 proof (55 percent alcohol content).Baijiu is made differently to other spirits such as whisky, brandy and vodka – Unlike the other 3, baijiu is the only one to distill yeast in the process of making it and use solid grain material in the fermentation process.
