Here are the extremes notes:

Gaxmalt31

Nose: Powerful, it is a cask strength. Quite balanced, which makes it surprisingly complex. Green tea, spices, honey, fresh herbs, mineral, mediterranean cuisine. The whole consistent and intertwined. It is superb. No unpleasant emanation, one would remain for hours in the glass to nose it further, but the desire to bring in the mouth is too strong. Taste: The alcohol is present. Herbs and cut grass as well. All accompanied by peppery spices? It stays fresh on the vegetal, the tea comes later. This is not a whisky for the ladies, a few drops of water adds a bit of ash on the nose reflecting a presence of peat. The vegetal side is more discreet, the sugar is almost like red fruits from a sherry cask. These few drops are good for him, making it creamier and sweeter. Final: On the spices, fresh thyme. Rather long and certainly very good. Big favorite.

Savoureur

Appearance: light yellow Nose: low intensity, alcohol fairly well integrated, veil of smoke, malty sweetness, red fruits Taste: moderate intensity, chili, smoky, dry Finish: short to medium Conclusion: Basic whisky, the chili catch gives a distinctive personality. Personally I do not like this flavor in whisky, others will love it
