Review by Chrischi78
Für mich verwirrende Aromen aus Zuckerrohr, Süsse, Litschi. Trifft so gar nicht mein Geschmscksprofil. Gebe Noten immer nach meinem Empfinden und so wird es knapp eine 7,1 da er handwerklich sicher gut gemacht ist.
Review by zabo
Trifft nicht wirklich meinen Geschmack, irgendwie durch das 6 monatige Cognac Finish nichts halbes und nichts ganzes. Schön ihn endlich mal probiert zu haben, mehr aber auch nicht. Danke an Boletus für die Teilung
Review by Boletus
Der kurze Kontakt mit dem Holzfass hat diesem Papa Rouyo sichtlich gut getan, ohne seine Ursprünglichkeit zu übertönen. Die zum Teil gemüsig anmutende Fruchtigkeit mit Noten von Rhabarber und Roter Bete hat sich dabei etwas aus dem Destillat abgebaut, wohingegen eine angenehme Buttrigkeit sowie ein wenig mildes Holz mit sanfter Vanille hinzugekommen sind.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed and expanded upon. I love cognac casks, so my opinion is not impartial. Nevertheless, I found it much fresher and more lemony than the average at the meeting. A great success, I'll be able to buy it.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Good length and very present lemon. Very buttery, reminiscent of the Neisson profil bio. Very complex for only six months in barrel. A superb success.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Jung und spannend! In der Nase eine brutale Zuckerbombe, die Assoziation von Zuckerrohr, aber auch Zuckerwatte und Sirup weckt. Dazu eine angenehme Fruchtigkeit, die wirklich Lust auf mehr Macht und auch das Cognac-Fass klopft schon mal kurz an. Am Gaumen dann etwas anders: deutlich weniger süß, alkoholisch und auch eine gewisse junge Holzigkeit, bei der ich mir einbilde, das Cognac-Fass zu schmecken. Leider deutlich schwacher als die Nase. Insgesamt trotzdem eine spannende Abfüllung, bei der mich vor allem die Limettennote fasziniert.
Review by Johannes
Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Durch die Lagerung ist deutlich weniger Frucht vorhanden. Geschmacklich etwas Vanille aus dem Fass, Salz, Olive, Marzipan.
Review by Thibault
Very lively attack. Aged only 6 months in ex-cognac casks, it still smells strongly of fresh sugar cane, very nice.
