„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.“

„Quite sweet/biscuity on the nose (in a pleasant sense) for a Monymusk 1995. Then great spice on the palate with a slight mint impact.“

„A Fruit Bomb as written on the label. Some licorice and brine too of course. I can feel its age (slight bitterness, mentholy notes and some tannins) but that's very soft for such a long tropical aging period. Not my favorite of the recent trio released by WJ but a delightful, no brainer, low ester profile Clarendon of a quarter century! Kudos to Whisky Jury to release such beauties so fairly priced (Mden, LP and MM).“

„good MM, with bold passion fruit (passion fruit) on the nose and palate. The finish is unfortunately a bit salty and astringent.“

„Great fruitbomb that starts with a great nose and adds some briny/mineral and menthol notes on the palate. Not as complex as the Fine Drams 95 but still really enjoyable.“

„Dieser MM95 soll tropisch gereift sein? Meines Erachtens hat er nichts mit seinem angeblichen großen Bruder von Velier zu tun. Am Gaumen ein normaler, an ehesten kontinental gereifter Clarendon.“
