To Saint James
"Compared to the second release this one lack a bit. It is of course a younger model, but it can still keep up I think. Lightly woody with fruits from nose to finish. Lovely spices appear on the palate and finish nicely balanced with chocolate and caramel/toffee. There is a flowery hint i there and a medicinal hint i can't put my finger on. Price to quality is very good."
"Der erste Schluck hat mit eigentlich ganz gut gefallen, auch die Nase ist sehr viel versprechend. Aber nachdem ich ihn ein wenig habe stehen lassen, hat er hinten raus, zumindest für mich eine gewisse Bitterkeit entwickelt, die mir nicht zusagt. Ansonsten eine solide Abfüllung"
"Beautiful Bally essence! Dirty, spicy and heavy but also filigree, floral and mineral. Very tasty and complex, a few % more and this would probably be an absolute blast! I like a tad better than the batch 2!"
"Great Agricole for a relaxing evening"
