    "11.05.2008 Sanya in China is what Mallorca and Ibiza is to the Europeans. A beautiful place with long sandy beaches and mostly 5 star hotels. Notes. Light in colour. Smoky wood with some banana and coconut. Oily naturally sweet palate with added caramel and spices. Finish is medium long and sweet with light smoke and spices."

    "Teil 3/8 unseres 1986er Rockley Tastings: 12y alter purer rockley, sehr verhalten an der Nase, geschmacklich Honig und Bienenwabe pur und etwas birne, dafür nicht so komplex aber das was er kann, macht er gut und bringt er auf den Punkt! würde ich den noch zum normalen Kurs bekommen, würde der in geile Air Mails kommen! 🤤🍯🐝❤️👌"
