“A retaste for me and I still stick to my initial score and statement 😊 I have to say that this one is best used in a mixer.”

“The nose is really nice and fruity, especially right after pouring, when the esters are strongest. Pineapple and banana. The palate is quite different, very spicy and lots of molasses. Pretty good but not quite outstanding”
