Most bars in Hangzhou don't have a rugged men's flavor in their home-created liquors, but Harbour's Age of Discovery is one such wine, the base of which is Myers's Rum, which is infused with yerba mate and Myers's Rum, which is based on the rich coffee aroma tia maria, the complex herbaceous Montenero and the Spanish sherry with a hint of walnut, without any sweet and sour ingredients, the taste is thicker and more serious, and it is also very complex. Among them, Myers's Rum is a rum that is closer to the original sugar cane flavor, with yerba mate has a special exotic style, establishing a rough and bitter tone, the coffee mellow stretches the taste space of the rum, and the herbal flavor gives the wine a richer and delicate layer, so the body of the wine is rough but the aftertaste is long, just like the crew of the Age of Discovery, a slightly bitter but expansive mood.
