Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5729 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. Just like the two previous releases, this one is also very light and smooth with a lot of fruity notes as well as spices, floral and caramel.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nase ist würzig leicht Speckig . Frucht eher wenig . Alkohol nicht wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen leicht ölig aber vorerst auch wässrig . Floral mit etwas Trockenfrüchte und Zimt . Alles in allem für mich eher enttäuschenden.... die Verdünnung hat hier meiner Meinung nach viel verschlechtert.

Puh, ganz schön holzig…
Review by TheJackDrop
Boisé bois de santal, fruits cuits. A chaud, mon Art Deco 2 m’a parût moins droit, et plus fun.
