이거 아니고 하인 엔젤! 4.0 향 향만 맡아도 깔바! 일단 알코올향이 전혀 안튀어서 추사는 제외하겠음 사과향 진득하고 약간의 뽕따에서 날 법한 달달한 소다향 약간 가을 낙엽향..? 아세톤향이 약간 깔려있음 맛 시큼한 사과, 풀자면 사알짝의 계피를 더한 사과잼같았다 매실주 같기두 하다 ㅋㅋ 꽤나 스파이시 한데 약간의 쓴맛이 느껴졌지만 전체적으로는 달달하고 맛도 향처럼 펑펑 입에서 느껴진다. 블라인드 테이스팅 후기

Etiam 4.0

Bouquet touched with caramelized sugars, macademia nut, and fig suggests a rich body, but the palate is actually rather dry, sitting forward on tongue with a bracing but not hot midpalate; finishes relatively light and a bit boxy in structure overall.

worldwhiskies95 5.0

Very good. Notes of apples and ginger on nose and palate with vanilla and spices on the finish.

VoteNixon 5.0

Bitter apples, saline, and fines de bourgogne
