    Sehr ungewöhnliches Profil. Dreckig und ziemlich auf die Fresse. In der Nase Caroni light. Die 52% fühlen sich an wie über 60, aber nicht im negativen Sinn. Gummi, Früchte, Zuckerpapier und getrocknete Früchte. Mit der Süsse funktioniert es relativ gut. Sollte man mal probiert haben.

    Sancti Spiritus un goût à part

    Avec un tel taux d'alcool j'ai eu peut pour mes poils de nez.... Qu'elle erreur... Vous retrouver un petit nez dans le boisé brûlé... Un peu Caroni... Mais sa propre identité bien présent dans la mélasse. En bouche l'alcool permets de réhausser les effluves florales puis le grillé et boisé prennent le relais. Une belle fin de bouche avec le boisé grillé tout en longueur... Beau produit.... Pour ceux qui veulent découvrir un produit à part...
