    Mein erster Gardel, guter Stoff, holzige Noten, trotzdem frisch und spannend. Mir gefällt er sehr gut.

    Ein vollmundiger und sehr dunkler Agricole der ordentlich Holz abbekommen hat. #FirstAndroidPost #AndroidIsComing 🥰

    Deutlich trockener als der 10 jährige Bristol. Sehr schöner Rum!

    Interessante Nase. Würzig und leicht fruchtig. Leder. Dann kommt etwas künstliches, fast Plastik, aber wachsener mit etwas Schwefel. Die Frucht finde ich am ehesten in grünem Apfel mit Zitrus und etwas Beere. Am Gaumen zwar schön würzig, aber wohl aufgrund der nur 42% zunächst auch etwas dünn. An Würze vielleicht Kardamom und etwas Liebstöckel. Es kommt wieder eine künstliche Note durch mit Menthol. Eine leicht grasige Süße von Zuckerrohr ist zu vernehmen. Im Abgang bleibt die angenehme hölzerne Würze, die in grasiges Zuckerohr mit Liebstöckel übergeht. Oh, was wäre der schön mit mehr Umdreh
