Learn about baijiu—its production, flavour profiles, history and uses—in this approachable seminar.
About this Event

The New Wave of Baijiu comes to Hong Shing, inviting bartenders and curious drinkers to discover the world’s most consumed—yet least understood—spirit.

Guided by Alex Black through an approachable lens, this seminar demystifies the unique production process—centred around qu, the fermentation starter—and breaks down baijiu’s diverse aroma categories.

Along the way, attendees will explore baijiu’s cultural roots, taste its structure, and uncover its versatility behind the bar. Expect a balance of history, flavour, and technique, plus inspiration for weaving baijiu into modern cocktails with confidence.

This seminar includes premium spirit tastings. Canapés will be served.
