變成一枝白酒了,不過仍不至於老去。酒的發展已經完全了,十分成熟。酒力不錯,沒有了香檳的氣泡,換來的是豐厚的酒體,另有一番滋味。酒的複雜性不算很出眾,餘韻尚算合格,不錯。喝的是歷史,是另一種品飲和欣賞的角度。

美麗的陳年感覺,複雜性發展得很好,口感微甜亦不膩,酒在口中的複雜性不減,酒力強、餘韻亦長,好飲。平衡感值得一讚。

公整圓潤的威士忌,十分商業化的產品,口味十分大眾化的,酒力算強,餘韻合格有餘。酒的複雜性也算合格,也可以算混桶很成功的酒,但也沒什麼特別的風格可以指出。

香料味很誘人的,酒的強度足,甚至乎有點重,不過複雜性好,令人口感滿滿,單寧還需時間,餘韻算長,品種特色及複雜性兼備,再發展一下會更好。
