Review by Kayla Roy
Delicious, very drinkable to those who can face the proof. The bottle says it’s good with water, and I’m sure it is, but I didn’t get that far. It’s sweet without being cloying, with lots of dried fruit notes.
Review by Madi Dromamad
The nose is very fresh, with notes of caramel, fresh herbs and vanilla. Round and slightly caramelized on the palate. The whole is complex and well-balanced. The finish gives way to minty, aniseed notes.
Review by primus
Quite unspectacular on the nose, but what comes on the palate is great: fruity profile, supported by the dark notes, malt, coffee, cask,
Review by Anton Krioukov
Delicious! But I was honestly expecting it to be woodier for the age. Does not need water. Sweet but not syrupy, medium complexity and an easy to drink pour.
