Sehr eigen, aber etwas Besonderes
Review by Alexander Schulz
interesanter Rum hat was von Grappa und kann auch gut nach dem Essen getrunken werden
Review by Leo Krüper
Actually good approaches. But too little of everything. And I find these Sauvignon finishes generally weak.
Review by Christian Rudt
in the second attempt it works better and from the initially too pure seeming rum still a lot comes out. definitely needs some time, then certainly a pleasure.
Review by TheJackDrop
It doesn't make sense, between sake and cognac, But that doesn't mean it's bad, it's confusing. On the other hand, it's very short on the palate and quite strong. To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Sake, Woody, Fermented, Nougat On the palate: Malt, Sake, Dry, Alcoholic, Fermented, Warm Finish: Cognac, Salty, Woody
Review by Romain de L
Rather nice. Pleasant nose. Classic, honey. « Nappant », quite « vif » on the attack, a bit on the sugary end without being pastry like. Overall nice but lacks a bit of character Tried again - with the closure of the distillery - thought it would be nice to revisit and same overall comment. Nice but not great
Review by BnBrt
Nez léger, plus alcoolique. Rhum vif en bouche, plaisant. Fruit sucré, je retrouve un peu de raisin. Finale assez longue mais un peu trop d'amertume à mon goût. Manque un peu de caractère pour moi. (Degusté après le nine leaves clear que j'ai bien préféré.)
