2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

TTL Yushan Chiew XO Kaoliang Liquor (Taiwan), 50% abv, n/a, 660 ml

96
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Exploding minerality is pronounced on the nose but it quickly gives into a sooting, ripe pear and papaya puree aromas. The palate is incredibly smooth, with a silky mouthfeel. The sweet flavors of tropical fruit linger through the finish and are pleasant.
