Description

The result is a golden liquor which is rich, smooth and sweet with a minty cooling hui gan. The fruity notes of the Young Gushu range is expressed in more tropical sweet fruits like mangosteen and this pairs perfectly with a light herbaceous spiciness. The smell of the empty cup is pure buttery apple indulgence.
This Gushu is a creeper in terms of drunkeness. At first it seems to be quite a gentle Gushu but that chaqi will rise and it will get you to that Gushu high that we all enjoy! This is a classic Friday night tipple.
