DuKang Hongyundangtou 750ml 杜康 红运当头

Product details

“Hongyun Dangtou – Dukang Red” is one of the new wave of guochao (national trend) baijiu products centered around the cultural legacy of "Jiuzu Dukang" — the legendary father of Chinese liquor. Its name, “Hongyun Dangtou,” meaning “good fortune at your doorstep,” symbolizes a prosperous New Year, abundant harvests, and auspicious blessings. Launched as a high-quality daily-drinking baijiu during the Spring Festival season, it blends the cultural sentiment of the traditional “New Year Red” with the ceremonial importance of gifting and family banquets. The creative inspiration comes from the premium grains of Yichuan (Baishui, Shaanxi) and the ancient fermentation environment of traditional cellar mud. Upholding Dukang’s heartfelt motto of “spending a lifetime crafting the perfect brew,” this baijiu also carries the mission of “revitalizing Dukang and bringing honor to the nation,” reflecting a spirit of red heritage.

Hongyun Dangtou employs traditional small-cellar, long-term fermentation methods, which achieve a harmonious blend of cellar aroma, grain aroma, and aged fragrance. The liquor is crystal-clear, and the bottle—designed in the shape of an ancient bianzhong (bronze bell)—features a vibrant Chinese red body with a golden clasp. The festive and bold appearance not only creates a joyful visual impact but also conveys rich cultural meaning and a sense of strength. The refined packaging makes it an ideal gift or banquet drink for Chinese New Year, weddings, and business occasions.

The overall taste of Dukang “Hongyun Dangtou” is rich, rounded, and full-bodied, with a harmonious blend of mellow sweetness and refreshing depth. It goes down smoothly, with intertwining notes of grain and cellar aroma. Mid‑palate brings a slight sweetness, while the finish is clean with a hint of bitterness. The lingering aftertaste is long, and the sweetness returns immediately after swallowing.

杜康“红运当头”整体口感圆润饱满，绵甜中带着醇厚与清冽相结合的层次感。入口顺滑，粮香与窖香交织，中段略显甜润，尾段干净略带微苦，余韵悠长，入口即回甘。

Water is the foundation of liquor, and the Xuanwu Ancient Spring is the source of the water used in making Du Kang liquor. This spring water contains over 40 trace elements beneficial to human health, such as selenium and strontium. The high-quality water, combined with the unique microbial community in the brewing environment, creates a mellow Du Kang liquor. Du Kang liquor is made from sorghum and wheat, grown in the natural geographical environment of the brewing site. The liquor is brewed using ancient techniques such as "three steaming, three brewing, five leveling, and six methods", the single-grain solid-state fermentation, and traditional techniques like a fork-loaded steamer, old-style steamer, the timing for wine extraction, manual brewing, mixed steaming and burning, and quality selection for wine picking.

The cellar pits cultivated with mulberry mud are conducive to the cultivation and survival of microorganisms, giving Du Kang liquor a unique aroma. Over 600 beneficial microbial communities inhabit the pits, producing nearly a hundred aromatic and flavorful substances, ensuring the richness and sweetness of Du Kang liquor. The base wine is meticulously blended by three national-level masters, and the fine wine undergoes a final transformation in constant-temperature wine cellars, resulting in a mellow, sweet, and elegant liquor.
