Review by Mathieu C.
Pur jus ! 90% colonne et 10% pot still
Review by Vincent D
The nose is initially woody. Vanilla too. Not crazy. On the palate, wood dominates and then a bitterness mixed with acidity takes over. Grape or cognac barrel, I think. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. Very different from the XO, which I rather liked. And clearly a step below.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Very strong sharp acidic nose. Strong on the alcohol considering only 41 %. Airing a bit helps very much. Notes of spices/vanilla and sweet/creamy appears.

Manque de puissance. Trop de rondeur.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose reminds me of an eaux de vie. Quite flowery with a big hit of grapes. Some dried fruits and spice. The palate has a strong grape note with some vanilla and oak from the barrel. It also has a creaminess throughout it. The finish is rather smooth. Peaches in caramel with a hint of ginger. It's very easy drinking and I honestly could be fouled into thinking this was a lightly aged peach brandy if tasted blind.
Review by Stefan Persson
It’s too little of everything to really catch me. Weak aromas of fruit, wood, vanilla, butterscotch and herbs. At the palate the aromas is there as flavors with an ok balance between dryness and sweetness.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Heavy grape notes, almost like a wine or champagne. Very herby and vegetal. Sweet but not in a traditional rum sense. Not a lot of alcohol burn.
Review by Portman
Gar nicht so mein Ding, da für das Alter noch viel zu unausgewogen und ruppig. Der Alkohol ist dominant, das ganze Destillat schmeckt medizinisch und unfertig.
