Chapter 2085 Will There Be Two Gold Awards?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Eiffie’s Titan Liquor sent the liquor-tasting event into a climax.
A bottle of liquor that was brewed 30 years ago sparkled brightly at the liquor-tasting event again after crossing the long river of time.
The perfect score meant that the gold award of this liquor-tasting event was already decided.
No one believed that there would be any liquor that could compare to Titan Liquor in the remaining 10 groups.
Including the five judges.
However, Eiffie didn’t think so. She knew what kind of unique existence Maotai was and what a talented brewer Mag was.
She even wondered: if two types of liquor with a perfect score appeared at the liquor-tasting event, who should be awarded the gold award?
Such a situation had never happened in the 30 years long history of the liquor-tasting event.
Groups after groups of liquor were sent onto the stage. Perhaps, it was because Titan Liquor was too awesome, and the judges couldn’t snap out of it quickly, or perhaps the subsequent liquor’s quality was bad, but
none of the subsequent four groups of liquor that came after it received more than 30 points.
Kurt yawned and rubbed his eyes as he turned to whisper to Fergus, “I don’t feel very alert. After this round, get Gerald to take over for me.”
“Alright. You have already drunk a lot today.” Fergus nodded.
“The 55th group. Begin the tasting.” Even the emcee’s voice sounded hoarse.
Mag yawned. He was tired as well. He turned aside, and his gaze landed on the rotund bottle that the staff member was carrying. He became energetic instantly.
He had waited for the whole afternoon for his Maotai to go on stage.
He didn’t expect that he would be so unlucky as to get the last few positions to go to the stage.
“It’s coming.” Eiffie instantly perked up too. Her expression became tense again.
Although she knew that Maotai was a rare good type of liquor, she still expected it to get a good position on the ranking of this liquor-tasting event.
The staff member carried a rotund bottle onto the stage. Everyone lost their interest after taking a brief look at it. The taverns with good liquor already had all their liquor reviewed. The Explosive Liquor was
considered the strongest contestant, but it still wasn’t Titan Liquor’s match.
The staff member fiddled for a while before they removed the red cloth and pulled off the cork.

Arich liquor’s aroma quickly surged out and spread everywhere rapidly.
“This liquor’s aroma!”
The people sitting closer to the stage smelled the aroma first, and they all looked up with surprise.
The eyes of the judges, who were a little tipsy and tired, lit up too as they stared at the rotund bottle in the staff member’s hand with shock.
The rich liquor’s aroma was much more impactful than the earlier Titan Liquor’s.
If one described the Titan Liquor’s liquor’s aroma as a graceful noble lady, then this liquor’s aroma was like an irresistible hurricane.
Compared to the grape’s fragrance, its fragrance was deeper and richer. No one could identify how many types of fragrance it had even when they savored it slowly.
“What liquor is this? Why is its liquor’s aroma so rich and fragrant?” Kurt, who was about to go down the stage, looked up immediately at the staff member who was pouring the liquor with a shocked expression.
Fergus’ eyes lit up too as he said to Kurt, “We already knew that it’s good liquor just by smelling it. Seems like a new kind of liquor will emerge in this year’s liquor-tasting event.”
This was definitely this liquor’s debut at the liquor-tasting event. Given their experience, they wouldn’t have failed to recognize it otherwise. They were simply curious about the tavern that brewed this and which
brewer’s masterpiece this was.
The rich aroma spread out quickly, and the crowd began to get excited too.
Even the audience sitting in the last row of the chapel couldn’t help stretching their necks to look at it. This was the very first time they smelled a liquor’s aroma that day.
Those present were either taverns’ bosses or veteran liquor lovers. They were all experts. They could differentiate its quality just by smelling it.
There were people asking which tavern this liquor belonged to. They were guessing if this liquor could hold up to Titan Liquor.
Mag sat quietly with a cold smile on his lips. He was already prepared to act cool.
The staff member began to pour it out. The transparent liquid shone like a bright pearl as it was poured into the crystal glasses.
The glasses were placed in front of the judges.
The five judges all were appraising the liquor in front of them like a treasure.
Ratafia and grain alcohol were usually dark in color. This was inevitable during the brewing process. It was rare to see such clear and transparent liquor.
In contrast to its clear color was the rich liquor’s aroma. It was very hard to imagine that a liquid that was as clear as mountain spring water could give out such an enticing liquor’s aroma.
Just talking about its aroma, none of the 200-odd types of liquor could compare to it.
“This should be grain alcohol. It’s brewed similarly to Titan Liquor. Its aroma is rich, with a hint of sauce and cellar age. There is also a faint sweet scent in it. Its aroma is very unique.” Kurt fanned the aroma with his
hand and commented on it before taking a sip.
Kurt closed his eyes, frowned, slowly unfurrowed his knitted brows, and curled his lips, revealing a sated smile. He opened his mouth a little, indicating his relaxed state.
Kurt opened his eyes after a long time, and praised, “This liquor is smooth and refreshing. Its texture is rich and thick. Its aftertaste lingers long after swallowing. It’s indeed excellent liquor that one rarely encounters!”
As areal alcoholic beverage aficionado, be it when setting up the Wine and Liquor Association back then, or organizing the liquor-tasting event, Kurt’s intention was to discover more great alcoholic beverages and
brewers.
However, there hadn’t been many alcoholic drinks that could bowl him over in the past few decades. Marcus’ Titan Liquor was one. This liquor that he tasted today could be considered as the second one.
However, in actuality, the Titan Liquor that Marcus brought to the event 30 years ago couldn’t compare to this liquor at all. The 30 years of aging gave Titan Liquor its soul, which enabled it to be able to compete with
this liquor.
This was an extremely perfect kind of liquor, or he should say that it was liquor that had exceeded the upper limit of his guidance arena.
Apart from praising and being curious about its brewer, he actually knew nothing about it. He had nothing to comment about it.
Fergus tilted his head back to finish every single drop in the glass. He smacked his lips and put the glass down, wishing for more. He nodded and continued speaking after Kurt’s review. “I guess everyone has smelled its
aroma, and Kurt has already described its taste. I can only say that this is one of the best alcoholic drinks I have ever had in my life. It’s even one of the top three I ever had. Now, I am very curious who is the brewer
here that made this and managed to remain so secretive.”
Kurt and Fergus both gave it an excellent review. They even pushed this liquor to an epic level.
Everyone was guessing curiously which tavern had sent this liquor. Perhaps it could really compete with Titan Liquor.
Eiffie turned to Mag with a sincere smile, and said, “Congratulations. Mr. Hades’ Maotai is indeed exceptional.”
“Now, what I am curious about is this: will the liquor-tasting event give out two gold awards?” Mag said with a frown..
