    "Merkliche Zuckernote, die über das Reinprodukt hinaus geht. Wer sich davon abgeholt fühlt, findet hier definitiv einen der besseren Vertreter dieser Gattung. Mich stört die Fominanz der Süsse, da sie leider den Rest des Destillats deutlich überlagert. Insgesamt fehlt es an Komplexität, das Spektrum bleibt zu bewusst gefällig."

    "Taaaak sladké. Na nose je velmi výrazné sherry dozrávání, sušené ovoce a karamel. V chuti je to hodně sladké, s výraznou stoupou sherry a datlí. Celé je to zbytečně řídké. Poměr cena/výkon je nesmysl, prostě další SV plnění."
