Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonFirst a pleasant vanilla and distinct smoke. Dry pears.. but thin. Then it turns more malty, edgy and a bit sourly. Marzipan and soap after a while. Not natural. Tastewise unfortunately on the thin side and with those rather weird tones. Still, it's far from a disaster.
