tasted 2025-10-19 heavy solid slightly boozy aroma, very well balanced and blended. i get barley wine and cellar aging, then a lot of really subte very faint notes that add to the complexity some of the slightly fruity, faint chocolate.
flavor is toffee, faint fruits, peppery alc boost, roasted malts, bourbon, oak, there is a lot going on, some very sweet malty notes, also some oranges like notes, the dark chocolate, the wood, the bourbun. yet it all balances so well. some of the flavors lead me to think of port wine, but this one feels lots more punchy than a port wine, also lots more refined. It could be the cognaq barrels that is adding a few unusual notes.
dkk 1300 at Kihoskh, an expensive tick. Fortunately it's a great sipper, so i guess it's only 130dkk per sip.
