    "Very good, balanced HERR. But I like the younger and fruitier LMDW better."

    "Edit: gestern nochmal gegen den neuen aus dem französischen Edelrestaurant probiert. Bleibe bei meiner Bewertung, aber dieser wird leider ein wenig abgehĂ€ngt. O.k. o.k. o.k. was fĂŒr ein toller Rum. GrĂ¶ĂŸten Dank nochmal an SaibotZtar fĂŒr den coolen Split. Umso lĂ€nger er steht, desto besser wird er meines Erachtens. Auch ein paar Tröpfchen Wasser habe ich diesesmal probiert, was selten vorkommt. Alles in allem ein Sehr guter Tropfen, aber in die Spitzengruppe schafft er es denoch leider nicht."

    "Red fruits (sour cherries, strawberries) and vanilla on the nose, plus chewing tobacco and some menthol. Vanilla, tobacco and barrel on the palate. Long finish. Really good! Reminds me strongly of the CdI Savanna bottled for Gernany (RX308)"

    "What a monster, a nose full of everything. Ester and red cherries, red fruits other kinds of. A bit of wood and nice. Palate explodes with fruits, herbal fresh notes of awesome. It goes just a bit into it's aging at the end of tasting. A monster and worthy for being the last."
