"Die Nase ist schon sehr spannend: zuerst Whisky, Rauch, salzige Austern dahinter Pfirsich. Sehr herausfordernd! Geschmacklich könnte man glauben einen Islay Whisky zu probieren. ein wenig Süße kommt auch durch. Und alter Portwein! Im Abgang wieder Whisky, Rauch, Salz und eine ausgesprochene Trockenheit."

"Extrem bitter, modrig, salzig, medizinisch und Holzig. Leider überhaupt nicht mein Fall... Erinnert sehr stark an Islay Whisky wie bowmore oder Talisker."
