Review by Sisi Goe
Fermented fruits, lovage, wooden spice and a wee bit medicinical in the nose. A little too watery, but nice wooden spicy in the mouth with a medium finish.
Review by René Müller
Lækker duft og smag. Sødlig med masser af krydderi og brændt karamel fin lang eftersmag.
Review by Johannes
Relativ mild für einen 96er Caroni!
