Nose
Orange zest. Very restrained. Palate
Light. Silky. Scenty. Delicate. Orange junket or blancmange. Finish
A hint of bitterness to provide a balancing dryness. Comment
it is not a whisky, so it cannot be scored as one. In character, I would regard it as an aperitif liqueur, rather than an-after dinner drink. In a category of its own, it secures a high score.

Nose
Chocolate covered orange peel. Palate
Luscious. Orange and cinnamon. Good weight of alcohol; strength disguised by attractive mouthfeel. Finish
Luxuriant. Comment
Very pretty. An unusual and interesting post-prandial option.
