„Very good molasses isautier. Not quite at the level of Velier bottlings.“

„Brings especially in direct comparison with the second Antipodes bottling a present floral perfume note, which is too dominant for me. Apart from that, overall somewhat more restrained than L'Elise, which comes far more pleasing in taste and therefore clearly has the nose in front for me.“

„#4014 This is an example showing that older isn't always better. This profile is different from the L'Elise and that's a nice surprise. The quality is equally high! Fruity with nice roasted wood and floral notes with some added pastries/marmalade. The empty glass reveals some mint and chocolate.“

„Le nez donne envie. Un boisé fort, du poivre. Une sensation de raisin. Et une touche herbeuse ensuite. En bouche, le nez se confirme. Du cacao vient s'y ajouter. Mais l'alcool est trop présent pour moi. Dommage. Finale plutôt courte, sur le bois et le cacao. Édit : première impression confirmée“
