"Deep copper color. Densely packed aromas of roasted nuts, mocha, and spice. A supple entry leads to a medium-to full-bodied palate with sweet-and-sour dried fruits, caramel covered roasted nuts, and subdued brown spices. Finishes with a nice fade of buttery caramel and pepper. A double distilled style that is nice but a bit shy on wood spice and rusticity." International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal

"Brilliant copper color. Rich aromas of chocolate, nuts, and brown spice. A round supple entry leads to a smooth dry medium-bodied palate with brown spices, mineral, toffee, and pepper flavors. Finishes dryly with minerals, wood spice, and light dried fruit notes. A refined, nicely dry, woody VSOP. 88 points" Beverage Testing Institute

A soft pillowy entry leads to a very smooth dryish medium-to full-bodied palate with buttered caramel, sea salt, star anise and brown spice flavors. Finishes with a long fade of caramel, peppery spice, and minerals. A great, well balanced XO. 92 points" Beverage Testing Institute

A veritable fireworks display of spices and peppery notes, softened by the fragrant scent of flowers. Finesse and elegance are the major characteristics. Perfectly harmonious in the mouth, Paradis Extra reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long-lasting on the palate. Its force and finesse, plus the delicate flavor of rancio, give it a perfect balance.
