The invention discloses cherry Maotai-
flavor Baijiu and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing materials: based on
mass percent, weighing 85 percent to 90 percent of
sorghum and 10 percent to 15 percent of wheat as raw materials; based on
mass percent, weighing 18 percent to 22 percent of
rhizopus oryzae
bran koji, 45 percent to 50 percent of
aroma-producing
yeast and 30 percent to 35 percent of
lactic acid bacteria bran koji as auxiliary materials; weighing cherries which account for 3 percent to 7 percent of the
mass of the
sorghum for later use; after moistening the materials,
steaming the materials under the pressure of 0.4MPa to 0.5MPa; after spreading and cooling the cooked materials, uniformly mixing the materials with a cherry mixture; after uniformly mixing with the auxiliary materials, accumulating and fermenting; putting the materials into a cellar and distilling to obtain the cherry Maotai-
flavor Baijiu. The Baijiu prepared by the process has a
cherry flavor, has a good Maotai
flavor and a full
wine body, is mellow and soft, and has an abundant taste. The Baijiu prepared by the preparation method contains ligustrazine,
chitin,
maltol,
borneol, 2-furancarboxylic acid,
ferulic acid and the like, and has a health-care effect. According to the cherry Maotai-flavor Baijiu and the preparation method thereof, the reinvestment is reduced, so that a whole production process is simple to operate, the cost is low, the period is short, and popularization is easy .
