Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonAt first a bit restrained, kind dryish vanilla, probably high ABV. White peppery, lively, clean. With water it gets a clearer bourbon wood styled vanilla. Turns tougher with time strangely enough, which also strangely enough makes it even better. Tastewise the bourbony style is more evident than in the nose and dominates. Tough, very strong, intense. Hints of elder and blackcurrants in the aftertaste.
