82- Nose
- Perfumed:anise,furniture polish, mures/blackberry,candied peel. Heady and sweet,the opens into sweet wood(cedar),then rose and a dry roasted spiciness. Cognac like.

- Finish
- Long. Coconut. Marasco,sweet spice
- Comment
- A deeply classy bourbon. Recommended

80- Nose
- Intense. A beautiful display of balsamic scents. Cedar.Pine essence. Freshly polished oak floor. Liquorice root. Pot pourri. Cinnamon tea. Atmospheric
- Palate
- Soft,silky. Oak prevails but not in an assertive way. Well balanced although it seems to have passed its peak. A certain weakness at mid palate
- Finish
- Soft,slightly tired
- Comment
- A still beautiful dram but it seems to have lost some muscles with the time. The nose remains intriguing and rich
