“Very exciting and unique. Funky, citrus, sugar cane and spice. Extremely intense. Slightly smoky finish with pleasant bitter notes. Only the somewhat short finish prevents a higher rating.”

“Verkostet mit dem French Cask. Für mich hat der Habitaion Velier die Nase ganz knapp vorne. Weil cremiger und Alkohol besser integriert … allerdings kostet er mittlerweile auch einiges mehr und hatte die doppelte Zeit im Fass. Für den Ausgabepreis ist mir der hier aber lieber ☺️ Update: Nach langer Zeit mal wieder probiert. Der Anspruch wächst mit der Erfahrung, darum ein paar Punkte weniger, aber immer noch sau lecker und eine tolle Mischung aus Funk, Joghurt, Wein, Vanille und etwas Rauch.”
