Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

A crystal clear, intense spirit sparkles with brilliantly intense aromas of dried ginger root, crushed green peppercorn, turmeric peel, star anise, fresh thai basil, eucalyptus stems, and dried citrus peels. The palate is mirrored with the addition of even more bold characters like black garlic, candied ginger, aged soy sauce, galangal, coriander and toasted tobacco leaves.
