    #4740 07.06.2024 Found a nice secluded spot in this moving dune to enjoy a few samples. Nose Intense, fresh, wood, light smoke, sugarcane, light coconut, faint honey, banana. Palate Intense, wood, light tannins, fruity, light banana, light coconut, roasted. Finish Long and warm, wood, roasted, faint honey, tannins, light fruits, dry.

    Really a good bottling from Mhoba with a really good Price per value rating. Awesome pairing of esters with a lot of oak with some hints yellow fruits and licorice. The alcohol in integrated very well.

    Great powerful but pleasant taste, where you feel the 60%. Good flavors of roasted nuts, coffee and vanilla 💪🏻

    tasted together with the Habitation Velier and the Glass Cask. The FAQ is much more brute than the Velier, with a more pronounced Äppelwoi-Vinegar note. The Glass Cask is even more intense than the FAQ. With the FAQ, a nice aniseed cookie note is added after a while. On the palate, the Velier is a bit more floral than the two competitors, but both bring a nice, long spicy-sweet finish. My favorite of the three remains the Habitation Velier. It is not as intense, but is the most balanced/coherent.
