“This was my contribution to the tasting and once we cracked open the bottle the flavours started spreading. Fruity with roasted wood and very good ABV integration. I really like the floral note and warm/spicy touch to the palate. Price to quality is very good in my mind.”

“Nose: V&M > RA > RC = FSB-BS The lower ABV bottling presents the more fruity and peasant nose straight up. Others significantly more heavy, dark and sharp. Palate: [Velier] > RA > RC > FSB-BS > V&M On the palate I have to give it to the higher proof combatants as they are all properly evil in what they do. However, imho V&M bottled their cask at the exact right ABV to enjoy the EMB right from the bottle.”

“What a beautiful, complex and intense nose: fruity and spicy. Beautiful orange and tangerine notes with sweet cherry and tart kiwi and gooseberry underpinnings, respectively. At first there's a tart sweetness of maple syrup that goes sweeter and sweeter towards orange syrup. I still find vanilla and a slight hint of tobacco leaf. The high % is barely noticeable.Palate: just as intense and delicious as the nose, very full-bodied to boot. Fruity, spicy, slightly woody. I find just as dried orange as prune, dried currant and tropical fruit. There is also a slight mint note to be found. There is also some resinous tobacco. It also has a nice nuttiness, vlt Brazil nut. A really excellent old EMB, with the alcohol super well integrated.”
