Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a lovely bottle and I'd like to have on or two of them on my shelves, but unfortunately that's not an option. Very fruity with smoky wood and vanilla. The palate is sweet and lightly bitter, yum, I love it.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is a smoky wood, nutty, slightly roasted and spicy with anise, vanilla, as molasses is flowery and also brings pencil shavings.Some nice fruits are present, like citrus, apple and pear. On aeration, fruitier aspect takes the torch with orange peel, mango, banana with a help of light esters, the molasses is now fresh, grassy and herbaceous, ends with a metallic touch. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is quite soft, fruity with banana and citrus fruits when oxidized, our tasting buds might notice plum, orange, the molasses is herbaceous, vegetal with pencil shavings, some licorice, a bit bitter, later grassy, flowery, as the wood is nutty, slightly smoky and spicy. 8,1:The finish is quite thin, medium long and furry, tannic, pencil shavings still present, also herbaceous touch and mostly variety of wood notes, with faint fruits...

Although the colour is terribly continental pale, the smell is pleasant. Woody, pear, Guyanese esters, some chemistry, maybe pencil stiffness. The taste is a decent trip. Vanilla at first, but then a fun bitter chemical charge kicks in. Finishes with herbs, burnt wood, spice and earthiness. Maybe even pu-erh tea. This being a full tropical aging, I'm in heaven😃.

Vynikající kousek. Nádhernej vyváženej kousek plný ovoce, nakouřeného dřeve. V ústech skutečně velmi intenzivní a vyvážený a zájimavě komplexní zážitek. Závěr je středně dlouhý. Moc hezký kousek, který doporučuji ochutnat. Degustační kalendář Pavla Špačka vol. 5 2025

Review by Roman Lelek
The color is pale, light yellow, like a pee…or white wine. The smell - I smell esters, fruits and vanilla…lemon and some kind of iodine The taste - it’s something different this time…didn’t taste anything like that in long time…warm, dry, despite higher ABV it’s integrated into a warm dry medium long aftertaste..it’s peppery, little bit woody. I agree with herbal fruity balance. Worth trying, every syp is exploration of new flavors..
Review by Michal Jurka
Just like opening 1st grader's pencil box. Add yellow fruits and sweet touch of vanilla. The taste is like chewing on the same pencils with side bites of dark chocolate.
