    "Nez caramel, boisé et avec des esters. Une pointe d'acidité type pomme verte. La bouche est différente avec des notes boisées et torréfiées. De la vanille. Du poivre. Une sensation de whisky presque. Malheureusement, alcool très présent et pas très bien intégré. Finale sur des notes de caramel et de café. Pas mauvais. Mais j'en attendais plus. Dommage."

    "Belle robe or. Un nez fruité (côté verger plutôt que tropical) et frais. Une noix fraîche. Des herbes. Il lui faut du temps. La bouche est dans la même lignée. Plutôt léger, il rappelle un whisky plutôt jeune. Il semble presque aqueux. Final moyen à courte. Profil pas très chaleureux. Pas très à mon goût..."

    "Bon TDL mais sans les marqueurs habituels, tourné vers le Whisky. Loin d’être extravagant, beaucoup de poivre et de pomme selon moi."
