S.B.S Brazil / Barbados
Sip this neat and you get a spice-forward blend: sandalwood, dried fruit and baked apple up front, caramel and chocolate underneath, with a peppery, gingery edge on the finish. At 52% the alcohol mostly sits well, though a couple of tasters wanted it better integrated. Several call it more complex and layered than they expected, with a thick, oily body.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I'd say that this blend is one you either like or not, there is no real in between. Woody and spices from nose to finish with some added fruit and herbal notes. Dry and warm on the palate and somehow sweet at the same time.

"Puissant, vanille pomme cuir/fut très présent, bien complexe Très très gras, ça me plaît bien ! Petite note épicée poivrée en fin, avec toujours des épices et des fruits. J’adore. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Bois de santal, Caramélisé, Fruits secs, Raisins sec, Pomme En bouche : Pommes au four, Vanillé, Fruits confits, Gingembre, Caramel, Prune La finale plutot orientee vers : Boisé, Épicé, Fruits"

Erstenmal danke an W00TAN fürs Sample. Meines Erachtens ein sehr gelungener Blend, komplexer und vielschichtiger als ich erwartet hätte. Stimme hier mal nicht Kevin zu, da gibt es nichts was man nicht mögen kann. Ein schönes Wechselspiel der Aromen, Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Review by w00tAN
Schönes Teil und ne prima Kombi! Erst süß Schokoladig aber auch würzig also interessant. Im Mund geht’s dann fruchtig süß los dann kräftig würzig mit gut eingebundem Alkohol. Sehr schöne Kombi gefällt mir richtig gut!
Review by Kéké
Blend très intéressant. Assez épicé avec un côté boisé et caramélisé. L'alcool pourrait être mieux intégré. Assez raccord avec le prix, honnête.
