- Nose
- Butyric, peach air freshener and a queasy cakiness. Like some showdown between two gateaux: as if a Battenburg attempted to outnancy a French Fancy.
- Palate
- Incredibly sweet, sugary and then nothing of merit. Better than the nose.
- Finish
- Pass!
- Comment
- Not to my taste. Only useful as a weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

- Nose
- Waxy at first, then apples, pears, cider, perry, calvados...Richer, crumbly chocolate cake undertones.
- Palate
- Creamy toffees. Egg custard. It is smoother and shows greater finesse with water.
- Finish
- Creamy, mint toffee richness. Some milk chocolate.
- Comment
- Somewhat lighter on the palate than the nose suggests. But still a firm, chewy, whisky for after dinner.
