S.B.S Brazil / Barbados
Sipped neat at 52%, this Brazil/Barbados blend runs woody and spiced with baked apple, caramel and candied fruit riding underneath. It's dry and warm yet somehow sweet at the same time, with a peppery-ginger kick on the finish. One member sums it up well: you either click with this blend or you don't, there's no middle ground. Rich and oily-bodied for those who do.

Woody, spiced blend that splits the room A polarizing blend most tasters rate highly — woody, spiced and complex, with the only real gripe being alcohol that isn't always fully integrated.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I'd say that this blend is one you either like or not, there is no real in between. Woody and spices from nose to finish with some added fruit and herbal notes. Dry and warm on the palate and somehow sweet at the same time.

Erstenmal danke an W00TAN fürs Sample. Meines Erachtens ein sehr gelungener Blend, komplexer und vielschichtiger als ich erwartet hätte. Stimme hier mal nicht Kevin zu, da gibt es nichts was man nicht mögen kann. Ein schönes Wechselspiel der Aromen, Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Review by w00tAN
Schönes Teil und ne prima Kombi! Erst süß Schokoladig aber auch würzig also interessant. Im Mund geht’s dann fruchtig süß los dann kräftig würzig mit gut eingebundem Alkohol. Sehr schöne Kombi gefällt mir richtig gut!
Review by Kéké
Blend très intéressant. Assez épicé avec un côté boisé et caramélisé. L'alcool pourrait être mieux intégré. Assez raccord avec le prix, honnête.
