Ruikt zeer straf, alcohol prikt wat op de tong, donkere chocolade smaak in de afdronk maar algemeen vrij straf. Vermoedelijk deze fles geproefd

Feels a bit harsh on the tongue but gives an interesting and smooth combination on the aftertaste, with a hint of vanilla and wood.

Peaty Oak, with subtle grape notes. Full bodied with a chewy middle and a smooth rich finish.

smoot sweet fruty to nose with touch of vainilla cinammon finish long and warming

I actually had a 12 year old, first fill. It was terrific.
