DRAGON - 1883 Maison Routin

Dragon Experience

This drink has the nobility of the dragon, the great walls and the imperial palaces… It blows on the world, sometimes slowly, roundness of Tai-chi, sometimes furiously like a tongue of fire. It is an offering that reveals itself but never completely.

RITUAL

“Ladies and Gentlemen,

I invite you to share the dragon dance.”

 

GONG

 

Phase 1

 

“This drink has the nobility of the dragon, the great walls and the imperial palaces.”

 

The smoke of powerful energy.

The dragon awakens. Enchanting smell of ginger rising and escaping into the air.

 

Phase 2

 

“The dragon blows on the world, sometimes slowly, roundness of Tai-chi, sometimes furiously like a tongue of fire.”

 

The revelation of the drink is the flash of fire effect.

An instant impact that surprises, amazes and then makes you want to taste.

 

Phase 3

 

“It is an offering that reveals itself but never completely.”

 

Bitter, slightly spicy and taste of roasting, smoked in the mouth.

A Fragrant and bewitching scent.
