Red sorghum liquor is not necessarily red. In fact, its color varies, encompassing shades from transparent, pale yellow, pale green, light gold, pale red, deep red, and even jet black. As a traditional, high-proof, strong-aroma baijiu from Guangxi, Red Sorghum Liquor is carefully brewed from sorghum through fermentation and distillation. Its color variation primarily depends on the production process and the raw materials used. In particular, the deep red variety of Red Sorghum Liquor is so named because after distillation and filtration, various traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, such as cardamom, fritillaria cirrhosa, wolfberry, hawthorn, and cordyceps, are added for soaking and redistillation, allowing the colors of these herbs to blend with the original color of the sorghum. However, color is not the sole criterion for judging the quality of Red Sorghum Liquor. When purchasing, consumers should consider factors such as color, aroma, and taste to make a more informed choice.
