    Eine sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Nase, der ABV ist verhältnismäßig zurückhaltend, die Frucht-, Pflanzen- und Gewürzkomponenten harmonieren. Am Gaumen ist er naturgemäß ziemlich ölig und schwer. 86 % lassen sich nicht verleugnen, sind aber gut trinkbar. Auch hier Frucht- und Pflanzenaromen. Ebenso beim Abgang. Eine gelungene Abfüllung

    Wow, beim Einschenken dachte ich: Den hätte ich mir ganz anders vorgestellt. Erst mal kaum Ananas (die ich hier mehr im Vordergrund erwartet hätte), dafür eher Zitrusfrüchte, Planzen, Oliven und tatsächlich auch etwas in Richtung Anis oder Lakritze gehendes. Nach einer Weile im Glas gesellen sich aber ein paar der typischen fruchtattribute dazu.

    Olala, eine ganz schöne Herausforderung diesen pur zu trinken. War aber denoch verwundert, dass es denoch funktioniert. Für mich jetzt leider nicht unbedingt das, was ich täglich im Glas haben muss. Der Rest wurde mit ein wenig Cola trinkbarer gemacht. Da gefällt er mir zwar ein bißchen besser besser, aber ist auch nicht gänzlich überzeugend.

    A very nice and intense profile. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours. Fruity with nice spices topped with a light floral touch. Thr floral note is more obvious in the empty glass.
