Review by René Müller
Meget lys. Dufter mest floralt. Honning sødme i smagen og en smule citrus. Let drikkelig rom men også lidt ensformigt.
Review by Gregor
Schöne Aromen allerdings viel zu flach. Sehr stark verdünntes destillat. Schade. Den das ursprüngliche destillat hat leichte Noten von Pfirsich und Banane mit Karamell und vanille abgerundet. Würde den gerne mal höherprozentig probieren
Review by zabo

Review by Fabian Kohler
