| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Exceptionally spicy, dryish cardemom and cinnamon. Dark lively spices all over. Exciting. Rounds off with time, hints of coffee and leather appears. Big big taste. Intense wood influence, and spices, and dried fruits and leather and tobacco and leather. Wow, this is one brutal whisky. Complex, intense and not at fault anywhere I'd say. Impressive. |
