“I just stand on LPS! For me, one of the bottlings in 2021. Mega great bottling together with the Duchess LPS, of course, therefore, the same rating, since it is the same cask. Legendary mark.”

“For a 20y old long pond is extremely little offered here in terms of taste.... Even after tasting 3x and breathing for over an hour this is just really thin.... Some ester, some yellow fruit, but no complexity, no finesse, no funk, super short finish...Must really say I don't understand this product?🤷🏼♂️”
