One Shot 1993
Embouteilleur	Jean Boyer

A fruity but somehow medicinal nose (ether) which is reasonably fresh and very pleasant. Light hints of cake but the fruit remains dominating, from time to time... Quite difficult to describe, that nose. Not so much because of its complexity but because its changing character.
In the palate, this whisky is amazingly sweet while revealing an impression of quite paradoxical woody bitterness.
The finish perfectly prolongs the palate. Quit difficult to define whisky, but sure high quality whisky.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
