Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Reflected in this aged, muscular and full bodied concoction are intense characters of tobacco leaves, cassia bark, dried turmeric, muted potpourri, crushed cardamom pods, dried citrus peels, fermented ginger, aged tamari sauce, sichuan pepper, star anise, fermented black beans with a background of eucalyptus. Strong, lingering finish.
