Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
19. 01.2019 A nice evening with colleagues from all over Denmark. Notes. Dark in colour. Nose: wood, roasted, coffee, dried fruit, light caramel, licorice. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, coffee, raisin, citrus, faint leather. Finish: medium to long, wood, roasted, raisin, chocolate.
Review by Murphy
Malzig, holzig, süß. Rosinen, Kampfer, leicht angeröstetes Karamell. Im Abgang bleibt ein wenig bitterer Nachklang wie bei einem Fernet Branca, allerdings nicht so intensiv wie beim Fernet oder anderen Magenbittern. Vielschichtig, braucht Zeit.
Review by Johannes
Unfortunately, I have no information about a finish. Taste-wise, there is clearly a whiskey finish that I don't really like.
Review by Michael Schou
28-03-2025 It got a second chance. But it the same experience. 10-08-2024 Has a strong note and taste of smoked whisky. Not a rum for me.
