“Also für den Preis kann man definitiv nichts sagen. Nur der Alkohol ist nur anfangs ein wenig mehr als präsent. Mit ein wenig Zeit im Glss wird es aber besser. Als Mixer gibt er auch eine gute Figur ab.”

“Guyana clearly dominates the nose. Beautiful dark notes of plum, pear and wood. Overall very round, soft and pleasing. In the mouth, the alcohol is appropriate for the 62.2%, but is surprising given the gentle nose. Picks me up!”

“I don't know if my sample is not quite right, but there are such clear off-notes of earth, moss and mold that I can hardly drink it. The alcohol is also very poorly integrated!”
