      Yeasty, lactic, softly sour, with plenty of creamy marzipan notes. Runny honey and raspberries. A dollop of yoghurt?
    • Taste
      85 85
      Nice, multi-layered arrival. Sweetness + spice work in tandem, with mild fruitiness to round things off. More herbal with time.
    • Finish
      82 82
      The fruity sweetness of the finish gives way eventually to more sour/bitter flavors.

    Really good if you like chocolate - I mean who doesn't?
    • Nose
      Intense, sherry, dried fruits, red berries, hints of glue solvent - not bad
    • Taste
      Oily, creamy, nutty, milk chocolate galore, hints of fruits, good sweetness - very good
    • Finish
      Long, warm, more spicy, zesty

  4. Calmar scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    An extremely controversial mole - great taste / finish with a bright combination of bourbon and sherry - juicy, powerful, and completely killed fragrance - muffled bourbon motifs with sable sherry derivatives, the only bright spot is juicy berries; However, the taste / finish are worth it to forget about the aroma and drown in the berry-raisin.
    • Nose
        Open, wet, freshly cut wood, raw wood dust, solvent, raw peeled potatoes, furniture varnish, raw cut vegetables - carrots, zucchini, tomato; berry notes - raspberries and strawberries;
    • Taste
      Oily, dense, sweet-raisin, candied ginger, compote of berries - raspberries, strawberries, tropical fruits, dried fruits - dried apricots, prunes, dried pears.
    • Finish
        Continuation of taste - raisins, dried fruits, light berry notes, barely perceptible kvass and dried mushrooms; after some time comes into the arena soft, spicy and sweet oak, greatly enriching the finish.
