tiong (13617) - Espoo, FINLAND - DEC 29, 2021UPDATED: DEC 29, 2021 330ml bottle. 2021 version. Heavy, warming and roasty with some rye bread, burnt coffee, dark chocolate and syrupy notes, hints of oak and stingy bourbony notes, some warming alcohol. Quite heavy, a bit harsh. Promising, but not quite there. Would probably benefit from some more time in the barrel and blending.
