My comments:
Visited Le Maison du Whisky on my honeymoon. Looked at the Authenticus they had on display and was thrilled to see that it was from the first batch, bottled 22.10.2005. The ones thewy had in stock was from 2007, so I made them change the display bottle and brought home the 2005 one. The tube is a bit different from the 2007 one. It is shinier than the new one My score: 85 p

Tasting notes from Malt Maniacs: Official tasting notes:

NA NOSE An explosion of smoke and peat, in combination with teasing hints of honey, apples and spices.
COLOUR Rich golden.
TASTE Rich peat, in perfect harmony with honey, chocolate, raisins and oakwood, followed by a cascade of spices rolling over the palate.
