Serge Valentin (88)

Colour: gold.

Nose: almost an exact copy of the Signatory. They’re almost undistinguishable, let’s say this one’s a tad rounder and fruitier, and a notch less mineral, and maybe a wee bit more camphory/mentholated. But beyond that, they’re almost identical – and guess what, we won’t complain.

Mouth: exactly the same comments. The hogshead might have been a little more active, as I seem to detect traces of vanilla. Other than that, we’ve got the same lovely lemony coastal waxiness.

Finish: same. Perfect. Maybe added notes of herbal tea. Lime blossom?

Comments: love this one as well
