There are many ways that Alcohol can bring a high price. Specially tailored ingredients, millennia of experience, exclusivity, reputation, quantity. Helmshigh Brew is all of that.
Helmshigh Brew is the primary export of the Valdutani Helmshigh Family. The expensive Liquor has been produced in the same fashion using the same ingredients before the First Contact of Tower Spoke & Via Lactea.
This history makes it one of the oldest brands in existence. The price of the bottle matches the practice, but many claim that when enjoyed with friends or loved ones it is a life changing experience.
A Social Experience
In Ethnis, there is an endless array of new experiences being distributed every other day. Yet there are also traditions that have spanned the course of generations. Helmshigh Brew is one of those traditions.
Brewed in Helmshigh Estate and nowhere else, these brews are notoriously expensive and highly praised for their complex flavors and intricate details. Each bottle is hand-signed by the current head of the Family as well as the Brewmaster who supervised the creation. Often times, only those with ties to the family can procure themselves a bottle if the supply is low.
A Helmshigh never leaves home without a bottle of their brew. The Tradition is to share it amongst those you grow close to on your pilgramage.
Helmshigh Brew is... well its something to behold for sure. Sweet, savory, I almost want to say it reminds me of scotch in character, but the way it holds on your nose and clings to your tongue. I can't put it to words

I don’t drink alcohol but this sounds nice. Are you going to write about the family?
Barron
I definitely should! Thanks for the suggestion!

:) For those of us who haven't tasted scotch, is there any other way to describe it?

https://www.worldanvil.com/w/ethnis/a/helmshigh-family Got the family done! I would describe it as a very... earthy sweet taste. Sort of like a potent tea with a almost subconscious sweet taste the longer you hold it on your tongue.

Yay! :) Hm, I see :)
