"Today three Uitvlugt from 1997 24yr (RX11475), 1998 22yr (RX8122) and 1999 14yr (RX6548) parallel in the glass. In contrast to its competitors, the Duchess has a nice dark color, while the others are very pale. In terms of taste, the Tamosi is just ahead of the Duchess. Unfortunately, the Kill Devil cannot quite keep up with its competitors."

"For 16y it's quite flat on the nose, a little citrus, cookie dough, tea and the familiar Guyana gauze 😀 I find it quite good as a daily sipper, but it depends on the situation, today it wasn't quite my cup of tea. It starts with a nice sweetness that quickly turns spicy/peppery and woody."
