    Die Nase ist vielversprechend und am Gaumen scheint er im Antritt ebenso. Erst ölig und mundfüllend mit gut ausbalancierten und kräftigen agricole, floralen, grünfruchtigen und gelbfruchtigen Aromen, wandelt er sich am Gaumem schnell ins grasige und pfeffrige, wobei die fruchtigkeit komplett abgeht. Leckerer Karukera mit einem schwachem Abgang.

    #4629 02.03.2024 Warm up for the big event Whiskymessen.dk 😊 First off the price to quality is very good in my mind. Nose Fresh, light wood, grass, light floral, nutts, faint chocolate, citrus. Palate Light wood, medium dry, fruity, citrus, light caramel, faint smoke, light chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, nutts, light licorice, light dried fruit. The empty glass has some sugarcane and light herbs.

    Very Solid entry, wild honey and chocolate with a smoke oakness about it. This is a really nice dram and a very good cask choice for v&b. This is very drinkable with some complexities. One of the better indie karukera
