    Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet.

    Ohne Witz ist das der mit Abstand ekelhafteste "richtige" Rum, den ich jemals getrunken habe. Diese Seifennote ist sowohl in der Nase als auch auf dem Gaumen derart präsent und ekelhaft. Kaum zu glauben, dass Luca sowas abgefüllt hat...

    Wieder Eiche, erdig, sehr trocken. Und dann - diesmal zurückhaltend - die parfümierte Seife. Im Mund prickelnd und langer, guter Abgang. Intensive Zitrusfrüchte. Ausgewogen, gute Trinkstärke. Von oben (2015) runter verkostet bis jetzt der Beste.

    Nice Agricole with decent power. I do not find the aforementioned missing notes here.
