Thank you, Marshall for this sample!
Sorry Sheng, Shou is the way for me. I will keep trying Sheng but honestly, my heart stays with shou.
Dry appearance. Compact. Slightly dusty. Light brown and dark browns collide.
Wet Leaf Aroma: Old 1800s house. Cream of wheat. Vanilla. Pure vanilla with no fluff. I also want to say marzipan but it’s been a bit so that’s a maybe…
Liquor Color: Opps… I wasn’t paying attention >.< It’s super dark.
Flavor: This first session is a punch to the face. “Don’t ignore me!” it screams. Bitter. Tannic. Old wood. Resin. I think I’m on session six right now, and wow. Maybe it wasn’t all me. It steeps dark very quickly.
Mouthfeel: 1st: Astringent. 2nd bits of astringency but also softness.
