    09.05.2025 Retasting at our local tasting with Hannes from Whisky Watcher. ----- Still a good rum ----- #4627 24.02.2024 Great tasting event at Whisky Watcher with food and lots of bottles. Nose Light wood, fruity, balanced, light glue, herbs, faibt mint. Palate Oily, naturally sweet, light roasted wood, fruity, herbs, light chocolate. Finish Medium to long, light roasted wood, dry, herbs, citrus.

    One of the smoothest MM I tasted so far. Rather light on the nose, providing a well rounded combination of fruits and herbs. Same does continue throughout. Elegant and well balanced MM with moderate ester concentration.

    Trade fair evaluation - Hanse Spirit.

    A very pleasant balanced MM! The alcohol is well integrated, it is almost too well-behaved! The bottling is absolutely successful.
