What do reviewers say about Bourbon and Halfeti?
Bourbon leans smoky, not sweet. The castoreum and oakmoss give it an animalic warmth that reads as honest rather than challenging. Built for cold weather and close quarters.Bourbon
Halfeti is uncompromising in its richness and complexity. The cumin and oud give it an edge that polarises, but the rose and vanilla prevent it from tipping into darkness.Halfeti
