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

    "Schöner isautier single cask aber insgesamt nicht sonderlich komplex und könnte definitiv ein paar % mehr vertragen. Rote Traube & Aprikose und etwas Grapefruit, Kakao, Vanille-Gebäck und Minze. Aromatisch sehr ausbalanciert."

    "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."
