Nice Versailles but fades very fast
14.04.2012 First visit to the Whisky.dk event after returning to Denmark after first living 3 years in Upplands Väsby, Sweden and then 7 years in Shanghai, China. Got back together with old friends to have a nice weekend. Notes. Dark in colour. Nose: wood, roasted, orange, cherry, licorice. Palate: balanced, light, cherry, coffee, berries. Finish:medium long, wood, coffee, dried fruit, herbs.
Výborný rum, výrazná vůně a jemná chuť
Buon Versailles ma purtroppo manca di intensità! Ha un buon profilo ma in tutta la sua degustazione non riesce mai a spingere davvero!
