| Tasting Notes | |
| Robert Karlsson | Sweet sweet vanilla. Buttery, oily. Thick. Dominant, ever so slightly berried and quite lovely. Complete vanilla domination. But quite perfect I'd say. If you're into that buttery thick kind. Good one. Not at all complex in my book but that does not matter. |
| Rich Howard | sweet strawberry creme, egg custard, and i'm even getting traces of hard-boiled eggs. definite egg-y undercurrents with this one. very brisk, the nose prickle begins immediately, with time, some vanilla starts to emerge. the palate is quite brisk as well. one sip, and the tip of my tongue went a bit numb. plenty of alcohol-infused fruit here as well, but also a bit egg-y like the nose. with water, the nose is still very much on egg custard, with plenty of light fruit notes, and that hint of egg yolk is still there. summary: an egg custard dram with layers of fruit.
