Review by Dr.Django
Most helpful positive review
The nose is promising and on the palate it seems so at first. Initially oily and mouth-filling with well-balanced and strong agricole, floral, green fruit and yellow fruit aromas, it quickly shifts on the palate to grassy and peppery, with the fruitiness completely missing. Delicious Karukera with a weak finish.

#4629 02.03.2024 Warm up for the big event Whiskymessen.dk 😊 First off the price to quality is very good in my mind. Nose Fresh, light wood, grass, light floral, nutts, faint chocolate, citrus. Palate Light wood, medium dry, fruity, citrus, light caramel, faint smoke, light chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, nutts, light licorice, light dried fruit. The empty glass has some sugarcane and light herbs.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Very Solid entry, wild honey and chocolate with a smoke oakness about it. This is a really nice dram and a very good cask choice for v&b. This is very drinkable with some complexities. One of the better indie karukera
