Alcohol from Taiwan - What is it? (need Chinese translation help, I think)

My girlfriend just got back from a business trip to Taipei, and she got me the greatest gift of all. Booze in a man-shaped bottle.
But booze man's insides seem like more of an acquired taste. Girlfriend thinks the booze might have sopped up bad flavor from whatever the bottle's made of, but I feel sure I've had something like his contents before (and that I didn't like it then, either). Maybe if someone could read the label under his feet, that would help? We tried to look at a Mandarin character translation--thing on the internet for a while and came up with "one of the characters means he's full of booze, and the one before that is 'Terracotta Warrior,' which isn't a big help, because there is a little English on the box he came in, that says he's a Chin Dynasty Spirit: General."
Anyway, feet label:
