"Smells better than it tastes" sums up how most tasters feel here. The nose leans tropical fruit, oak and a little chocolate-vanilla, but the palate is thin and short — one reviewer even caught a cherry-cola syrup note. Despite 12 years, it reads soft and quiet, with only faint pepper and some bitterness on the way out.

Review by Stefan Persson
The distillery uses a three column still and a pot still for their production, but after tasting this I believe that at least is the main content in it from the column still. The nose is quite weak. It went a little better in mouth and palate, but the weakness is then back again during the short finish.

No smell, no taste.

Review by Tyler Griffith
Smells better than it tastes. Tastes syrup-y, almost like a cherry cola. Strange taste during and in the aftertaste. Some spice, but not worth recommending.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Not much taste or complexity. Little pepper and bitterness.
