    "Like the entire Monymusk 1995 vintage at a high level, but not an outstanding representative. Strong nose with great fruit (papaya, mango, passion fruit) and sweetness in combination with heavy spice, homz and menthol/camphor. On the palate, it then tends more in the menthol/camphor/bitter direction and the interplay with the fruit falls somewhat by the wayside - compared to other representatives of the vintage."

    "Classic 1995 EMB profile: Heavy tropical fruits meet mint and barrel aromas. Does not quite come up to the best representatives of the vintage, for this lacks a bit of balance, but that's where the criticisms largely end - because considered on its own, this remains an impressive distillate with a lot of depth and great complexity."
