Für mich der beste von den 5th Release aber ich muss sagen, dass mir alle drei sehr gut gefallen.
For me from the series the best!
Eine sehr, warme und volle Caroni-Nase. Das ölige Karamell verleiht die Aura eines tropisch gereiften Demeraras. Sehr, sehr gediegen, nicht besonders komplex. Ein Wahnsinn im Mund, ölig, voll, sehr komplex. Ein Gewürzbasar. Der Rum bleibt lange im Mund, was sehr schön ist. Ein Wahnsinn auch, was mit den fünften Employees abgeliefert wurde. Am besten gefielen mir der Dan, dicht gefolgt vom Breeze. Schade auch, dass von diesen Flaschen kaum jemals eine geöffnet werden wird.
Sedmý a poslední zaměstnanec večera. Ve vůni je to kuže, dehet a potom sladké tóny karamelu a hořké čokolády. V chuti je to krásně komplexní, spousta máty a kaučuku. Jednoznačně největší požitek je u tohoto kousku ale v závěru, který je velmi velmi doouhý a ukazuje nové a nové věci.
