    Super agréable. Puissant, fruité et gourmand. Une belle longueur en bouche vivement que je compare avec les autres batch😋

    Il vaut mieux attendre qu’il s’ouvre avant de s’y aventurer et profiter de tout son nez et arômes.

    Solides Teil, ganz nice

    For the nose, re-test without a cold. The taste is a great success. The alcohol is clearly present, but the sweet fruit and coconut take up more and more space, as do the spices. This sensation becomes more pronounced with aeration. No real length, which is a pity. But it's rather pleasant. Edit: alcohol a little too present for an early line-up.
