- [Label Features] An old-school medicinal liquor brewed by TTL. Marked by a red box with a deer illustration.
- [Straight] ABV ~30%. Poured into a glass, it has a deep reddish-brown color.
- The aroma is literally a Chinese pharmacy. Behind the intense spice scents of 'Dong Quai' and 'Rou Gui (Cinnamon)', a slight animalistic wildness is felt.
- One sip spreads the heat of Kaoliang alcohol along with complex herbal bitterness and strong rock sugar sweetness.
- Since it warms the body as if burning from the inside, Taiwanese elders drink just one small glass like 'medicine' before bed to improve circulation and recover from fatigue.
