"Beautiful 2013 <>H that requires concentration and a lot of time to breathe. Compared to the other 2013/2014s, much more pleasant mouthfeel and noticeably more tropical fruit. Great value for money."

"This one was a retaste and I stick to my original score. A very nice Jamaican. Another pretty good Jamaica and again the ABV has bee integrated really well. Intense and funky with fruits and lightly dry on the palate and finish. I like the roasted wood in the profile. It draws very nice curtains in the glass."

"For me, not quite the level of the Nobilis 2013, but very awesome release. The tropical portion of the maturation is clearly noticeable. On a par with the Warehouse #1 bottling."

"On the nose, I like it well. The high ABV stings against expect hardly. And besides the fermented fruit, gluten / varnish notes obligatory in <> H, here also cream, cake batter, baked apple, candied. Pineapple, toasty and salty on the palate. The finish is not super long, but neatly tightens the cheeks (astringent)."
