     Nose is nice and intense. Bread, buttery notes and some berry notes. Some parallels to unaged savannas (much more suttle though) - buttery strawberries- yet characteristic and unique. Balanced on the palate with good alcohol integration. Green plants, berries, some sweetness and bitterness at the end. Well crafted and interesting. Looking forward to some aged expressions.

     Riecht besser als er schmeckt. Als Obstbrand ganz ok aber als Rum nicht so gut. Hatte mir davon mehr versprochen. Generell bin ich von den unaged häufig enttäuscht, da der Geruch meist vielversprechend ist.

     I was already curious about this one, after the distributor's description of printer's ink and fudge...on the nose it reminds me of a Clairin, with spicy vegetables, but also something like graphite (maybe that's the printer's ink?), then sweetish again in the direction of mandarin, and I also have fudge. On the palate, fruit brandy (Williams pear) and a spicy, peppery finish. Great stuff!

     On the nose, the typical unaged aromas dominated by fresh yeast and vegetal notes. Some green fruit also appears. Smooth and sweetish on the palate at the very beginning, it quickly reveals its true self. The alcohol is not particularly well integrated, paired with cheeky spices and the herbal aromas, it challenges the tongue considerably. The finish is relatively long and somewhat chemical, which bothers me and makes it seem somewhat unbalanced.
