Pity, that was what many felt about Master Marcus.
He left too suddenly, too quickly. There wasn't even a suitable person who could inherit the Titan Liquor's brewing techniques, and that made this liquor that could have been passed down for generations end up as
regret in everyone's hearts.
Back then, Titan Liquor was sold in small bottles at a sky-high price in Rodu, yet it was still hard to come by.
Smelling the authentic fragrance of Titan Liquor again here today made many old customers of Titan Liquor reminisce about its taste.
However, just as Kurt had said, this bottle that Eiffie brought out could be the only bottle left that she had been keeping, and this was against the rules of the competition.
This was because the goal of the liquor-tasting event was to judge and choose alcohol worth buying in Rodu.
The most important prerequisite for purchasing alcohol was a sufficient stock.
Everyone looked at Eiffie, who was standing, with a little pity and mockery.
Even the owner of Reese Tavern, who obtained a high mark previously, could not help but turn back to look at Eiffie.
"Thank you, Lord Kurt, for acknowledging my father's achievement, and thank you, everyone, for remembering my father." Eiffie bowed to Kurt to thank him before standing up straight, and saying out in a loud and
clear voice, "This is the last bottle of wine. This was the wine that my father kept in the cellar 30 years ago, and he said that it could only be opened 30 years later.
"I went to the cellar a few days ago to open the cellar, and this was the first bottle of Titan Liquor that I bottled. From now on, Titan Tavern will be relaunching the Titan Liquor that my father had brewed, and there will
be a supply of about 50 bottles a day."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was silent. Then, the crowd erupted into an uproar all of a sudden.
"Titan Liquor that has been kept for 30 years, and there will be a supply of 50 bottles every day! Master Marcus actually hid so much good wine back then!"
"It seems Titan Tavern will be a good place to hang out again!"
"Although Master Marcus is gone, his legacy is just about to begin!"
The drinkers there were all very excited, especially those who were still longing for the Titan Liquor. There were already people asking friends out to Titan Tavern for a gathering tomorrow.
The tavern owners all wore different expressions on their faces. If what Eiffie said was true, Titan Liquor would be eligible for the competition. However, that was a strong contender for the gold award.
Many started to look at Boris and Eiffie. Back then, Marcus also won the gold award twice from Reese Tavern, and was known to be Boris's one and only rival.
No one expected that years later, Marcus's daughter would bring the Titan Liquor over again to compete with Boris's Explosive Liquor.
Boris did not have much change in expression. He nodded to Eiffie and turned to leave.
"Marcus actually left so much wine behind?" Kurt was shocked to hear that too. However, he quickly nodded, and said, "In that case, this wine is eligible to join this year's liquor-tasting event."
"Thank you." Eiffie nodded. She sat back down, and waited for the judges to give their scores.
"Alright, please remain quiet. Right now, the judges will start to taste the wine. Let us look forward to the next bottle, the Titan Liquor that was kept for 30 years. How will the judges judge it?" the emcee said in a loud
voice.
The audience fell quiet quickly.
Everyone was watching the judges with anticipation.
urt raised his glass, and put it near his nose. He used his hand to fan the opening of the glass gently, and took a good sniff.
The rich fragrance was intoxicating. It was a unique fragrance that was created through the fermentation of grapes in a wooden barrel. It was this unique and elegant, making the wines that came before it lose their
colors.
He took a sip. The wine slid into his mouth. It was gentle, and its fragrance filled his mouth. It was rich and enchanting, graceful and mellow.
He seemed to have seen an elegant goddess that one would admire, but did not dare to go close to!
urt opened his eyes after a very long time. He looked at the wine in his hand, and exclaimed, "The 30 years have changed the fragrance and taste of this wine in a remarkable way. It's as though it has been upgraded
once again. It's way better in terms of texture and taste compared to the Titan Liquor years ago.
"These 30 years were probably Kurt's last improvement to the Titan Liquor to make it better.
"It's a pity he wasn't able to see the change for himself."
Fergus just placed his glass down too, and he exclaimed in the same way. "I thought that Titan Liquor had reached its peak back in the days. I only found out today that that was just a half-done product."
"Aging the wine has made the fragrance of the oak barrel and the fragrance of the wine combine perfectly, bringing a whole new style to the Titan Liquor. This is the most unique and most delicious wine I've ever
tasted."
"This was Marcus's work from 30 years ago. Back then, we were also stunned by his Titan Liquor. Now, 30 years later, we are once again stunned by him."
"This is indeed a stunning wine. It was better than the Titan Liquor back then. Time has become Marcus's best assistant, and has also completed the remaining work for him to make the real Titan Liquor," another
judge exclaimed as well.
The five judges all gave very good reviews.
The audience was quiet. Everyone was waiting for the judges to score this wine with good reviews.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEiffie clenched her fists tightly as she waited for the results nervously.
Kurt picked up the sign in front of him, and said loudly, "I will give it 10 points! It's a pity I can only give it up to 10 points."
"10 points from me too! Titan Liquor and Marcus are worth it." Fergus lifted his sign.
The other three judges also raised their signs, giving the full marks of 10 points.
"50 points!"
"There probably hasn't been a wine that had received full marks at the liquor-tasting event for three years, right?"
"After 16 years, Titan Liquor is about to take down the gold award for the fourth time!"
The audience could not stay still.
Full marks, that was akin to announcing that Titan Liquor had clinched the gold award once again.
Titan Liquor had already received such honor three times.
Eiffie could not hold her tears back anymore. She bit her lips and tried her best to control her expression.
"Congratulations. I believe your father would be glad to know this," Mag told her gently.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Hades." Eiffie wiped her tears away, and quickly calmed herself down. After that, she smiled and thanked everyone for their well-wishes.
Titan Liquor had returned with full marks, just like Marcus's legendary life.
When the audience had quieted down, Kurt looked at Eiffie and said, "Miss Eiffie, can I have the honor to buy this bottle of Titan Liquor? I think this is a very meaningful bottle of wine, and it is worth careful tasting."
"When my father was still alive, he always said that you were an admirable and respectable elder. Please allow me to gift this bottle of wine to you," Eiffie said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll help myself. I'll be visiting the Titan Tavern often in the future." Kurt stood up and took the wine and cork on the staff's tray. After putting the cork back, he placed it beside him.
"You're really fast. Why don't we have dinner together tonight?" Fergus said with a smile as he eyed the wine on the table.
"Sure. I have a few bottles of good wine that I can take out. Not this." Kurt nodded with a smile..
