Tag 13 Sample de Luxe Kalender. Mein erstes OWH und ganz ehrlich das ist mal eine gelungene Abwechslung zu den sonstigen leckeren Hampdens. Sehr schöne Balance zwischen Frucht und Gewürzen.

Slepá degustácia Farba niečo medzi tmavožltou a jantárovou Vôňa mäta, riedidlo, odlakovač, prezretý banán Chuť tropicke ovocie, ananas, mango, zrelý banán penicilin, čistič Dlhý záver korenisto ovocný ABV okolo 55% Jamaica tipujem long pond Toto ma baví

8.3/10

Honestly very much liked it. Nice nose - complex, a bit funky / spicy / woody. Strong attack, perhaps a tad too much alcohol - but manageable. Aromas of leather, girofle, spice, fruit. Long agreeable finish

7.9/10

Vůni na mě výrazná spíš méně, trochu máty a lepidla. V chuti je přijemná vyvalženost ovoce a štiplavé kořenitosti. Alkohol je příjemně integrovaný, závěr hřejivý, ale já osobně malm u této serie problém s poměrem cena výkon.
