Jungle : Mokokchung, Nagaland - India
Class : Wild - a single, ancient tree - exact age unknown, but "centuries old"
Distillation : Traditional Copper Deg and Bapkah, 1st 12-hour Pull
So if you are really astute, you've noticed I have another 1941 batch of oil in the shop from Mokokchung, Nagaland (my Naga Ateek 1941). This is indeed from the same distillation family, distilled the same year, from a different single ancient tree.
Whereas 1941 Naga Ateek is hints of smoke wrapped about a deeply fruity hooka bar tobacco - Mokokchung Ateek is hints of fruit hiding inside a blazing charcoal chip. I get hours and hours of incense smoke from this beast, and it's glorious. More on that shortly ...
This is a relic distilled during the last World War 😱
This oil is a unique historical relic that I acquired directly from the distillation family that produced it in 1941. I was lucky in that they still had some of the distillation details, which I included above.
“Ateek” - for those wondering, our English word for Antique has it’s roots in this word, which is the same word in both Arabic and Hebrew. It means ooooold ... a fitting moniker for this rare gem of an oil.
Regardless of the specific geo-location, it’s not often we get an uncut family heirloom that is 82 years old and counting.
Just consider for a moment how a good bottle of Scotch is valued. 16-18 years old is already getting rare. 20-25 years old, and maybe a fortunate few will get themselves a bottle. 30 years old? 50? Usually fewer than 100 bottles will be sold world wide. And to find an 80+ year old bottle - you could have a down payment on a house!
I only mention this to emphasize just how rare it is to find an oil like this made available to the public, and at a price that is less than a really old bottle of whiskey - and at a price tag far below what you'd expect on a dram of a bottle that old. These are historical relics, juiced from ancient trees at a time when all the best wood would have been tossed into the pot to make the richest, most excellent oils that simply are not possible to reproduce today in any kind of scalable capacity.
THE SCENT
First and foremost, I want to say that this oil smells ... ATEEK. It reeks of ancient awesomeness. Timeless old trees in primeval forests. Scents from another Time. Whispers of history long past.
Secondly - Nagaland is known for delightful florals, and although this oil does have some beautiful fruity/floral notes on the front end- the real joy of this oil is the dense incense smoke.
The scent on this is just gorgeous, and if you’ve been following my work, you know I break down Incense notes into 2 categories :
1. Incense Character - which can include anything that smells incenses’y or resinous, but not necessarily smokey.
2. Smoke - like incense smoke from a Japanese-style Senkoh stick, or smoke from a chip on charcoal or a Subitism.
I love both categories, but I personally really love Incense Smoke in oils - and Mokokchung Ateek is RICH in thick incense smoke like billowing wafts from a thick chip on charcoal 🥰
You'll notice the artwork I have for this oil, and I'd say it's spot on for the scent. Kinda reddish purple florals layered over the orange burn from the charcoal, and thick, dense smoke permeating your nostrils.🫶🏼
These kinds of ancient scents are hard to be duplicated. Time and phenomenal raw materials are the only way to produce this kind of textural scent. If you’ve ever tried 50+ year old Scotch - you’ll have an inkling what I’m talking about. Now imagine an additional 30 years of maturing and you've got an idea of just how delectable this oil is.
Mokokchung Ateek 1941 is an oil for the archives - a centerpiece on your trophy shelf. I imagine for those of you that like to commemorate special occasions with special scents. For those that do, your future will hold thick incense'y Nagaland smoke from Mokokchung Ateek gracing your memories for years to come.
