The 2014 Year of the Horse Moutai, having aged for over 12 years, now possesses a richness that is a world apart from when it was first released. Its Chinese red ceramic bottle, adorned with Liu Boshu's "Spring Breeze and Victorious Hooves," makes it an early entry in the Zodiac series. The quantity available is dwindling year by year, especially for complete, unopened cases.

Authenticity Check – Characteristics of the Year of the Horse Edition after Twelve Years of Aging

  1. Aging signs of Chinese Red Ceramic: More than 12 years have passed since its release in 2014, and the ceramic surface of authentic items will show natural oxidation resulting in a slight yellowing, especially around the bottom edges. However, the main red body should remain vibrant and uniform. If the overall color is dull, it might indicate improper storage conditions. Use a magnifying glass to compare the lines of Liu Boshu's "Spring Breeze and Victorious Hooves" with official atlases.

  2. Red and Gold Two-Tone Cap Joint: The cap of the Year of the Horse edition features a two-tone red and gold transitional design, with a fixed width for the color band at the joint. Common issues with counterfeits include shifted color bands or blurry transition areas. The embossed "Kweichow Moutai" text on the top of the cap should be clear and without double images.

  3. Review of Early Anti-Counterfeiting Technology: RFID was not yet adopted in 2014, so traditional methods are used – shining a UV light on the back label to observe the fluorescent reaction, and checking for consistency between the logistics code and the case code. The Year of the Horse edition is an early release in the Zodiac series, and very few original cases still exist. Cases with complete codes are particularly valuable.
