OK... just tried it and it's a mild version of vodka. Maybe I'm not one for fine subtleties of the
taste, but I can't find any difference in taste from plain old vodka (not the cheap kind with bad
taste and awful burn). It's true that I haven't touched vodka for 8 years now (after having way
too much one day), so I might be wrong. It's also very similar to tuica (smells like it, too),
which is distilled from plums.
Further research (with the help of Bureaucratist's translation of the name) I found the product
I would still like a complete and exact translation of everything on the label.

Label:
Left side is pretty straightforward, net contents, alcohol content.
Center is the brand name, Jinliufu, or Golden Six Happy if you prefer,
Then 福星高照, to be born under a lucky star, which refers to this product range. Can only see
one star on your label, assume you have the one-star version (runs up to five).
Below that you have the company name and address.
Vertical text on the right is 浓香型白酒, 'strongly fragrant baijiu'.

Thanks for the quick translation.
I still don't understand that Golden Six Happy/Fortune name... shouldn't there be a translation
that makes sense?

Just prepared a Mimi and Me, using Jinliufu instead of vodka... The strong aroma of the baijiu
overpowered the amaretto, so if using it instead of vodka, the cocktails need to be changed a
little to compensate this.
