    "Nose is clearly driven by notes from the cask with less intense fruit and ester notes. More complex less funky so to say. On the palate again very mature. Bringing some herbal notes to the table alongside fruits and notes from the cask."

    "Really a great bottling 😎 A fruity ester bomb with well integrated alcohol and barrel. A perfect dram to enjoy with your best friends🥃 The finish is quite long, dry, astringend (typical for the HE contingent) with lovely ester, fruits… just excellent!"
