    "After the Renaissance from the White Alligator barrel was already a real positive surprise, today again followed up with two interesting bottlings, one stored in the Bas-Armagnac barrel, the other in the noble red (Botrytis grapes sweet wine) barrel, again with super long fermentation, so that it comes on the nose again to a real aroma fireworks. Interestingly, however, both are quite different from the aroma profile. In the Armagnac Cask I have more grapes, the noble red goes more in the direction of yogurt and it also somehow still has something between storage room and cheese plate, which I like but quite 😅 On the palate both with tobacco, vanilla. Here, too, the noble red scores a little more. Conclusion: again two extreme bottlings that are really fun. Makes you want to try more!"

    "Very exciting bottling from Taiwan! For just 4 years of maturation, an impressive amount has already happened here. Milk chocolate, cinnamon, dates, ripe bananas, raisins and orange peel together with butterscotch and cream toffee, as well as peanut butter. Alcohol very well integrated! Could pass blind as a mix of Barbados, mhoba and Agricole!!!"

    "Is this a wine barrel finish? The fruity sweetness of the base is still readily apparent. The rum seems much older with nice wood/yeast/agricole notes. Very good combination!"
