| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Rather lovely distinct notes of oranges intermingled with an excellent vanilla tone. Also some buttery special fruits in there, is it red grapefruits? Something along those lines. Promising nose here for sure. Very powerful, strong! Wonderful fruits and so intense. Fantastic notes of oranges and vanilla. This is a seriously good dram. Improves nicely even further with time and a little water. |
| Krishna Nukala | Very interesting nose!Almost like chemistry lab- medicinal,Interplay of Rich fruits and mild smoke. Brilliant palate! A sugar volcano exploding on the palate. High abv stuff. Everlasting smoky finish.(blind tasting notes of MMA 2013) |
