| Tasting Notes | |
| Robert Karlsson | Quite a bit winey, sherry- and woodinspired to say the least. Loads of slightly sourly raisin and demerara sugar. The taste is in full balance with the nose. Full of it. Rather pure and I really like the absence of any sulphur in there. In the aftertaste it turns peppery and on dark chocolate. Not at all bad this one. Very drinkable strength too. |
| Rich Howard | spicy red fruit punch (the kind made with fresh ginger ale), grapefruit, stewed fruits, butterscotch. after a few drops of water, there's brown sugar, handfuls of red berries, toasted brioche bread, and syrupy plum reduction. not subtle in the slightest, and complex in a slightly odd and unexpected way. very interesting, but more importantly, very good!
