"Chocolate-covered crushed hazelnuts and almonds aromas with a deft touch of mint and coconut. A rich, satiny entry leads to a plush, moderately sweet medium-full body of toasted coconut, delicate marzipan, mint leaf, and creamy nougat flavors. Finishes effortlessly with roasted walnuts and a breath of whisky. Remarkable texture and smoothness. A classic cream liqueur."

"The bouquet features charred paper smells of toasted walnuts, roasted chestnuts, paraffin, cardboard, parchment, dry grain and herbs. Entry is grainy sweet and moderately oily; the midpalate stage is loaded with grainy breakfast cereal flavors and, at times, even comes off like oatmeal. Ends well on an oily, satiny note." 85-89 pts.

"A leafy spearmint perfume leaps from the glass in the nosing stages. The palate entry is refreshingly minty, creamy and mildly chocolaty; the midpalate features the mint/chocolate flavoring without eclipsing the cream and the spice. Finishes gracefully, silkily and smooth." 90-95 pts.

"The smooth taste of Bailey's lovingly blended with the rich, roasted flavour of coffee."

"The dominant aromatic feature is caramel. The palate entry features the cream/dairy element as much as caramel and nuts; the midpalate highlights the cream, the caramel flavoring, the spirit and the gentle spice. Concludes smooth, satiny and properly creamy with greater emphasis on the spice than the caramel." 90-95 pts.

"Old gold color. Dried peach, golden raisin, fig, praline, and spicy cocoa aromas. A soft, silky entry leads to a dryish medium body of creamy vanilla, maple on porridge, and dried fruit flavors. Finishes with a smooth, delicately spicy, melted toffee fade. A fine sipper. Best Buy."

"Brilliant burnish amber color. Aromas of honey, chocolate drizzled dried orange peels, wildflowers, and nutty whisky follow through on a gentle entry to a moderately sweet and viscous medium-full body with buckwheat pancake, rye cracker, and peppery spice accents. Finishes with a nice malty breath of whisky and mossy wet stone minerality. A supple, generous, and pleasurable after dinner treat." Gold Medal.

"Pale golden amber color. Mild toasted baguette and golden raisin scone aromas with a silky soft, dry medium body and a nut oil and honeyed grain finish. Pleasant."
