Hauptsächlich Alkoholisch und sauer. leider ein Reinfall für mich. Wohl einer der bis dato schlimmsten Kuba single casks bis dato für mich, sorry aber das Ding macht mir persönlich einfach keinen Spaß...
Review by Gil Firth
בקבוק הוצאה מעניינת סך הכל אבל לא סוחפת. רום מתוק. דבשי. עם תפוחים ופירות עדינים יחסית. סוכר אבל לא תוספת סוכר. סך הכל אהבתי בשביל המחיר שלו מציג משהו קמת אחר מקובה.

28.11.2017 Meeting up at a friend's house each one bringing a bottle. Pretty surprised that there were 3 Cadenhead's in the pot. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, grass, cherry, spice, citrus. Palate Intense, wood, roasted, lightly oily, berries, light floral, spice, light caramel. Finish Long and warm, wood, roasted, banana, spice, caramel, Extra note Needs to rest for a long while to settle down properly.
