"Le premier de la série des 8 marks et regoûté un an après avec une meilleure note. La dégustation est très proche de celle de l’année passée. Un nez très crayeux en premier puis des fruits, beaucoup de fruits, de la banane, de la figue de barbarie. Une bouche racée, équilibrée avec de l’alcool de framboise très net. Une finale pointue mais longue. Le verre vide apporte comme une sucrosité en plus des fruits. Un rhum très aromatique et à coup sûr intéressant. Ça commence très bien."

Seems quite fresh as a result. Interestingly, it also has something of cherry yogurt. Esters are actually not to be heard. The max. 80 then probably come from the after all 3 days fermentation. Palate: slightly spicy, slightly bitter, but still quite mild for 60%. Has a somewhat spicy start, with a hint of caraway or cardamom. Fruit is there only in the background, lime with some orange peel. Rather, it seems somewhat veggie-like, with green leaves and fresh branches as well as mineral. In the finish, it becomes somewhat salty and reminiscent of a fruit schnapps. Hamden DNA is yet to really be found. Moreover, difficult to grade..."
