“Very tasty ester fruit bomb. The alcohol is very well integrated for the young age. The high ester content is much more noticeable here than in the older HLCF that have been released recently.”

“Also a very nice release. Fruity with some esters and nice wood and spices. I like the smoky touch in the finish and the empty glass reveals nice chocolate notes.”
