  "account": "The first Moutai House in Southeast Asia is opening at the Fullerton Waterboat House in Singapore in October. The three-story showcase features rare Moutai bottles up to S$1 million, a birth-year collection, Guizhou and Huaiyang cuisine, and Moutai cocktails. Kweichow Moutai, China's best-known luxury baijiu, is a potent sorghum-based spirit from Guizhou, prized for its complex and savoury character. The location on the riverfront is significant, as Singapore's relationship with Moutai can be traced back more than seven decades, with the spirit first arriving at the Singapore River in 1954. At the Moutai Experiential Centre, guests can enjoy a multisensory journey through the spirit's ingredients, production techniques, and flavor profile. The Centre will also display Southeast Asia's largest Moutai collection, including a birth-year collection featuring annual vintages dating back to 1965. Additionally, there are two special releases created for Singapore, as well as an Imperial Treasure restaurant serving Guizhou and Huaiyang cuisine, and a rooftop bar by Nutmeg & Clove called Sohaus, offering signature cocktails featuring Moutai.",
