Here are the extremes notes:

mapi

Color: old gold Nose: The nose is clearly marked by sherry. I find notes of polish and a sense of sweetness. The nose is also marked by alcohol. Palate: The palate is complex, with a nice alternation between the spiciness of the alcohol and sweetness of the sherry. I found hints of chestnut honey and maple syrup Final: good persistence. The finish is quite delicate. The sensation of alcohol disappears to make room for roundness, with a "jammy" side recalling honey and syrup which was present in the mouth.

Stephane

Nose: Demerara sugar, caramel, roastedor flambe fruit (apples, pineapples, citrus fruit), cinnamon, brandy and water and also some not very pleasant artificial notes (cardboard, oil?). Taste: Very sweet, fruity, pineapple and flambé banana with rum, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, you're more into the world of rum than whisky! Tip of Kahlua, very rich, but a little sickly... more reminiscent of a complete maturation in rum casks or sweet wine tthan a finish, cask dominates the whisky too obvioulsy. May be interesting to accompany a meal or an exotic dessert ?
