“Slightly better than the standard 15 year release. Better balance but I'd like a higher ABV 😊 Waiting for the rest if the samples to arrive so I can score them as well (7 samples were broken when they arrived, postal services in Denmark is not always good) .”

“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.”

“Tasted at a private tasting. Pretty woody this one. French oak/Armagnac/cognac with that typical acidity. Red fruits. Cherry. Oak is very present in the nose. Some velpon too. Taste. Delicious. Wood and flowers. Very balanced. Menthol too. This might be one of my favourites of the Velier vintages. A bit of everything that makes Saint James great. Lovely.”
