8.7/10

8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is very pleasant with charred wood notes and dried fruits, as there are raisins, figs, apricots, dark berries, blackberry and smoky wood with nuts, burnt sugar, leather. Molasses brings in some tobacco. On aeration, vanilla, prunes, citrus and bacon are evident, as some flowery notes with an elderflower.Nicely balanced... 8,7:On the palate, the attack is spicy and whisky like with dark, charred, smoky wood notes like chocolate, a bit resinous, so a bit bitter. The fruits are dried with raisins, prunes, apricots and dates, as the molasses brings in black tea, dark licorice, tobacco and is a bit herbaceous. After resting, balance is better, as we move towards more burnt bacon, meat, salty caramel, mocha and a whiff of mint. 8,6:The finish is long with dry, spicy, smoky charred wood, quite dark and earthy and a bit bitter, as dried fruits nicely balance our tasting.. Edit:28.6.25, an upgrade 0.1

The third Uitvlugt for today... and unfortunately a bit disappointing... as already reported several times, it contains a heavy smoky slightly tobacco-like note that I don't like. Otherwise, there are also pleasant dry fruit aromas of dried plum, spice, and wood.

Old PM with a nice nose of lots of dried fruit, plum, wood and tobacco. On the palate - as already described in another review - a somewhat disturbing, smoky note. I don't know whether it reminds me of whisky because I read it or because it really tastes like it. But it is indeed a bit annoying if you don't like whisky. In any case, a little standing time is very good for it. Nevertheless, all in all still very tasty for me.
