| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Not quite opened up, on smoke and quite rough around the edges indeed. With water the nose turns more sooty. Doesn't really want to play. Whoa, quite a bit of alcohol in here. Fiery pepperiness, white smoke. Needs water I'd say. Rounds off with water but never strays from the total smoke domination. Still a quite flawless smokiness. Beastly and not exactly complex. |
