"This is a very rare bottle and at release the price was very good. The nose is fruity with roasted wood, lovely esters and vanilla. The palate is intense and funky with roasted wood, esters and fruit trailed by spices. The finish is long and woody with fruit and spices."
"In the nose still a pleasant fruity estery essence...the palate loses fruit and alcohol, esters and wood dominate ! Dried fruit and spice remain on the finish!"
"Ein typischer OWH, bei dem ich die fruchtigen high Ester etwas vermisse. Insgesamt aber sehr rund und komplex. Dadurch ein sehr guter easy sipper!"
"It doesn't always have to be high ester. On the contrary, here I have the young marrow with the lowest ester content. Let's see what the 6 years of maturation have brought. Nose: very fruity, tart and sweet, with lots of lime and lemon as well as kiwi and gooseberry. But also has clear hints of washing-up liquid. The relatively high ABV makes it smell fresh like a solvent. The esters present bring some yoghurt into play. Behind that it is slightly spicy-roasted, with vanilla and umami. A little too much dishwashing liquid, otherwise quite nice. 7,7 Palate: All that remains of the moisture of the nose here is lime with a little pineapple. Otherwise I find more spicy-roasted aromas. A little pepper, a little salt, very bacony. The finish is bacon-fat pecan and metallic. A little too tart, although I like the bacon flavor. 7,5"
