What do reviewers say about Whisky, 1969 and Tears?
This is what people mean when they say 'wears well.' Not safe. Not forgettable. It announces itself and then refuses to leave. The kind of presence that pulls strangers across the room.Whisky, 1969
This is not a crowd-pleaser. The Lilac heart skews vintage, almost nostalgic, while the Cognac opening reads more bourbon than bergamot. Worth sampling before committing, especially if you want.Tears
