Tasting review by Gourry de Chadeville:
Its nose has a large variety of aromas, which reveal themselves with hints of vanilla, chocolate, and curry… then jasmine and narcissus. The perfumes of candied fruits, saffron, ginger, and honey mix themselves with nutmeg and cedar wood.
Leather and tobacco notes, balanced on the nose, mellow finale - with hints of chocolate and cigar.

Bache Gabrielsen's Prestige is a round, and well balanced blend.
