“Of course, you can't expect an ester bomb at OWH. However, I like the profile of the root surprisingly well. On the nose, yogurt, grilled pineapple and baking mix dominate. On the palate, burnt sugar, barrel, mocha. The 58.3% is very well integrated. Really tasty stuff! Best thanks to Paris for the split!”

“Sehr würzig. Kein Typischer HD ... ok low Ester war klar aber er kommt schon sehr anders rüber. Mich stört etwas das Rauchige vorallem wenn er gut geatmet hat ... ansonsten wenig Frucht Alkohol sehr prägnant.”

“OWH gibt es ja nicht so viele Hochklassige. Da kommt dieser hier ganz gelegen. Jetzt für den Hochsommer sind mir die Low-Ester sowieso lieber. In der Nase deutlich als Hampden erkennbar. Im Gaumen wirkt er dann sehr leicht und verspielt für einen hochprozentigen Hampden. Hintenraus habe Ich leicht Minz und getoastete Fass-Noten. Schöne Abfüllung, aber auch nichts womit man Preise gewinnen kann.”
